Full name (required): Stephen Lewis Location (optional): California
Affiliation (optional): Retired Contact details (optional): Statement of interest (not required if you registered for the R6RS ratification or the 2009 Steering Committee election): I have studied computer languages since the 80's and learned 'lisp' in 1982. I have been using Scheme for personal use programming since late 90's and liked R5RS because it markedly improved portability. I have participated in contributing bugfixes to several implementations on multiple platforms including PowerPC and Alpha. I have several implementations of Scheme running on 32-bit, 64-bit big- and little-endian systems and will continue to test and send in patches to help improve the portability of implementations. Vote (required): "yes" Rationale (optional): I disliked R6RS because so few people implemented it that it did not improve portability so I stayed with R5RS. I have high hopes for R7RS-small because so many implementers have voiced their support that I think it will make a big improvement over R5RS and hopefully R7RS-large can be a further improvement also if it is widely implemented. -- _______________________________________________ Scheme-reports mailing list [email protected] http://lists.scheme-reports.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scheme-reports
