I expect people will continue to write applications in particular Scheme implementations, using the portability of the implementation itself (most implementations work on most CPUs/OSes in current use) to achieve general portability. But Scheme has always suffered from a lack of portable libraries. A major purpose of R7RS is to make rich portable libraries possible to write. It won't get all the way there, but if it is widely adopted by implementations (as R6RS has not been), it may help. -- John Cowan http://ccil.org/~cowan [email protected] There are books that are at once excellent and boring. Those that at once leap to the mind are Thoreau's Walden, Emerson's Essays, George Eliot's Adam Bede, and Landor's Dialogues. --Somerset Maugham _______________________________________________ Scheme-reports mailing list [email protected] http://lists.scheme-reports.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scheme-reports
