Statement of interest:

I've been a Lisp programmer since 2010. Scheme remains to my mind the most 
elegant and versatile dialect of Lisp (It is my "go-to" when I want to 
prototype an idea in a Lisp-y language), by virtue of its minimalism -- but 
this minimalism also weakens the language as a tool for serious software 
development. My hope for R7RS is that it will retain the simplicity of 
classical Scheme (Small) while becoming a practical language for real 
development work that is portable across implementations. (Large)

Rationale:

R7RS Small is a nice improvement over R5RS, not too bulky and a good starting 
place for work on the Large language. I approve.
