So what is happening is that people are voting for more rather than less, as with the Red Edition. This encourages me that I'm going in a sensible direction with the large language.
For the record, I'm extremely leery of the more-is-better approach. We seem to be adding a large number of very large APIs, which seems to be contrary to the Scheme ideal of small well-chosen primitives that work synergistic well together. People were unhappy with R6RS because of its size and that so much of it was invention rather than codifying existing practice. R7RS-large is the same - but much more so. -- --Per Bothner p...@bothner.com http://per.bothner.com/
