It is possible, and I really really really hope true, that Alaric meant Programming Language Theory, and not PLT scheme. This usage is not uncommon on, say, LtU. I once brought up this unfortunate naming coincidence to a PLT scheme dev, however, and was surprised by the ensuing denial of any usage of PLT to mean Programming Language Theory. OTOH, it's also possible that Alaric meant Past Life Therapist, or Lead Lanthanum Titanate.[1] [1] http://www.acronymfinder.com/PLT.html Regards, Jon Wilson _______________________________________________ r6rs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.r6rs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/r6rs-discuss
