Full name (required): Jean-Michel Hufflen Location (optional): Besançon, France
Affiliation (optional): FEMTO-ST - DISC Contact details (optional): [email protected] Statement of interest: I registered for the R6RS ratification or the 2009 Steering Committee election. Vote (required): yes Rationale: An important point about the main software I'm developing using Scheme is that I *want* it to work with any Scheme interpreter or compiler, provided that it is conformant to the current standard. For example, that allows me to be able to use graphical extensions of a particular Scheme interpreter. Being able to use an interpreter's features as far as possible, and switch from an interpreter to another has been made easier by means of the new function "features" of R7RS. More generally, I think there is now a better interface with the operating system. This application (bibliography production) deals with texts. That is why I would have liked the process of Unicode to provide more functionalities, in particular a better interface of possible encoding for input and output files. I am waiting impatiently for the design of R7RS-large. On another subject, I think that some important progress has been made by the introduction of new forms for promises. (I use streams within another project.) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. _______________________________________________ Scheme-reports mailing list [email protected] http://lists.scheme-reports.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scheme-reports
