Guile?

Can you let me know what Guile does that's especially interesting?
From a very cursory glance it seemed like just another Scheme.

I don't know the different between scheme, guile and racket.

Is that the same language? I'm curious but lost.

Scheme is a language specification (it has a few versions, latest is version 7, or "R7RS").
Guile is one implementation of Scheme, as far as I can tell there's nothing too special about it.
Racket started as implementation of Scheme too (it was called PLT Scheme back then), but it decided that it needed so many changes they renamed the language. It's still very similar to Scheme.
