Three years is a long time in Internet time. And Stalin is manifestly a dead end: it does what it does, but it's a nightmare to maintain for anyone but the author, especially given that the internal documentation consists of "LaHaShem HaAretz U'Mloah" at the beginning and "Tam V'Nishlam Shevah L'El Borei Olam" at the end of each source file. :-) Still, someone could provide Stalin with a preprocessor that did syntax-rules and added support for (probably) everything in R5RS except dynamic-wind. (Multiple values would have to cheat, as is the case in chibi-scheme, where values returns a list of values with a unique object in the car, and call-with-values merely checks for this.) -- Man has no body distinct from his soul, John Cowan for that called body is a portion of the soul [email protected] discerned by the five senses, http://www.ccil.org/~cowan the chief inlets of the soul in this age. --William Blake _______________________________________________ r6rs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.r6rs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/r6rs-discuss
