4/19 What's the closest thing Scheme has to a good standard library and a
standard interpreter?
\_ obUsePerl
\_ Perl is a slow, broken mess.
\_ there's a reason I like Scheme, and that reason is exactly why
I can't stand Perl.
\_ and that is? If you say consistency I will laugh.
\_ a simple, elegant syntax. and then there are first-class
procedures, first-class continuations, proper closures,
hygienic macros, ...
\_ i would rather read machine code than scheme
\_ Oh please. The macros in CLisp and Scheme are a
nightmare.
\_ There is no better way to have general macros.
\_ ok, what's a language with a better macro system?
\_ I'll give you two: make, ant
\_ make and ant do not have a macro system.
\_ r5rs
\_ R5RS is the language standard. It does not specify a standard
library, and it's not an interpreter.
\_ Is this for BH's project where the homeless guy gloms on to you
until you get to campus and the campus police object beats him off?
