Why is R5RS considered to be good

Name: Anonymous 2015-06-22 19:31

... when it includes ZERO functionality for a filter function or a fold function? Pathetic.

R6RS was a smart move. Too bad that ivory-tower academics felt it was too useful.

filter and fold shouldn't be in R5RS.

they can just be implementing as a simple recursive function in a portable way.

The better approach is: Language + standard libraries. R7RS sort of tries to do this but fails.

That is true, but considering how filter and fold are so commonly used, it would make sense for the interpreter to provide them to the programmer instead of having the programmer redefine basic procedures that should have been included in the language in the first place

just import certain libraries by default (in the repl, not in source code)

R7RS isn't a thing yet. You have to give it time.

They are working very slowly on standardizing r7rs-large.

It's a meme language, nobody thinks it's good.

r7rs exists! i'm using it a bunch and various compilers implement it.

I have some issues with it and see room for improvement. Want to make my own version

>>6
does anyone else think "large" doesn't need to exist? what's wrong with SRFIs?

Stop talking about those standards for a toy language. Nobody gives a shit about them enough to implement. And nobody needs them in a toy language anyway.

Future revisions could elevate Scheme from a "toy language" to a practical language.

It think you don't understand the meaning of "Scheme Requests for Implementation". People who issue these want these features included into Scheme. If they didn't care to have the SRFI as part of the official Scheme spec, they'd simply publish the technology as is without issuing a SRFI.

implying that scheme is a toy language right now
