Based on my interactions with both, I very much agree with this opinion on Kent Dybvig, and would say the same for Will Clinger. I would worry that electing these individuals to the steering committe would remove them from the pool of possible editors. Isn't it the editors who will be reponsible for the nitty gritty of the language design decisions? _______________________________________________ r6rs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.r6rs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/r6rs-discuss
