An alternative that I have to mention here is Lazy Scheme, where you
can write simpler code (and it is fully lazy, unlike streams that are
only lazy in the tail position):

  (define nats (cons 1 (map add1 nats)))
  (define (divides? n m)
    (zero? (modulo m n)))
  (define (sift n l)
    (filter (lambda (x) (not (divides? n x))) l))
  (define (sieve l)
    (cons (car l) (sieve (sift (car l) (cdr l)))))
  (define primes (sieve (cdr nats)))
