Another distributed Scheme is Matthew Fuch's Dreme:

I sent this next in email to Scott, but Luca Cardelli wrote a paper
describing a language with distributed higher order functions:

  Obliq: A language with distributed scope.
  http://www.luca.demon.co.uk/Papers.html#ObliqPaper

He's also done a lot of more recent work on "ambients," which is a
kind of process calculus with types to express various facets of
concurrent and distributed computation. It's neat stuff.
