Racket has an unofficial R7RS implementation, but I don't expect that to happen with Chez, Guile, Ikarus, IronScheme, Mosh, or Ypsilon. (Larceny and Sagittarius are hybrid R6RS/R7RS systems.) Some of these are more in development than others, but you never can tell with a Scheme implementation when a new release will appear without warning. In addition, it's not hard to transform R6RS libraries to R7RS ones or vice versa. > Yes, after writing my original email I found out how to bind an unknown > number > of values, but there doesn't seem to be a way of returning an unknown > number > of values. > (apply values list-of-vals) is your friend. > > GoFundMe seems like the right thing. > GoFundMe is about fundraising campaigns, I was thinking something along > the > lines of a tip-jar where you can chip in a little if you want. > You might look into Open Collective. -- John Cowan http://vrici.lojban.org/~cowan [email protected] They tried to pierce your heart with a Morgul-knife that remains in the wound.
