Statement of interest : I believe Scheme is one of the greatest programming language. It's compact, flexible and even became practical after R6RS. I use own Scheme implementation as a tool for daily development task such as accessing Smart cards, cryptographic operation and so. It might not be a perfect language, lacking non-trivial functionalities to use within the specification such as threading, socket, FFI and so, but it's still evolving and I feel there are a lot of possibilities for future. Vote : "yes" Rationale : This is rather conservative yes. R7RS has made a great step forward from R5RS however it looks a big step backwards from R6RS. The goal seemed gluing the gap between R5RS and future RnRS, and it made a lot of decided stuffs undecided again. I think language specification should not look back that much even though R6RS seemed too progressive. I hope WG2 will decide dropped off stuff again. -- _/_/ Takashi Kato E-mail: ktaka...@ymail.com _______________________________________________ Scheme-reports mailing list Scheme-reports@scheme-reports.org http://lists.scheme-reports.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scheme-reports
