Revised^5 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme (1998)
H. Abelson, R. Kent Dybvig, Christopher T. Haynes, Guillermo J. Rozas, ...
The report gives a defining description of the programming language Scheme. Scheme is a statically scoped and properly tail-recursive dialect of the Lisp programming language invented by Guy Lewis...
Revised^5 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme (1998)
Richard Kelsey, William Clinger, Jonathan Rees (editors, Jonathan Rees, H. Abelson, ...
Programming languages should be designed not by piling feature on top of feature, but by removing the weaknesses and restrictions that make additional features appear necessary. Scheme demonstrates...
