Scheme: R8RS

1 2021-09-11 15:29

When will R8RS be released? I can't wait to get an upgrade.

2 2021-09-11 15:35

My implementation is still on R5RS anyway.

Why haven't you upgraded to R7RS?

They haven't even finished standardizing R7RS (large) yet. Also why would you want to upgrade to something without knowing what it is. It could be ``upgraded'' to be literally anything such as R7RS being a major regression R6RS. ))

Why is R8RS even necessary? If Scheme is so minimal and beautiful, there is nothing left to add or remove. Why do we even need these new standards?

Lithpratti have infected the lambda papers and infected scheme with r*rs instead of using srfis. R7RS large is nothing more than a proto common lithp.

What is "Lithpratti"?

A failed archon still inside the ringed hierarchy, reborn from CRISP machine into a vacuum meatcoil.

That is an incomprehensible explanation. What is "Lithpratti"?

You seam to be a visual learner.

Migrated from Bell to Lockheed during the winter when EN. GX after lockheed translocated to mars and bell stopped vibrating.

That does not seem to answer the question. That link does not contain an explanation. What is "Lithpratti" and "Lirpenttes Facus"?

Are you instead a second type auditory learner and need special binaural programming tapes.

No, Common Lisp is a proto R7RS-large.

According to the R7RS-large working group:

The relative sizes of the languages are approximately thus: R4RS < R5RS < R7RS-small < R6RS < Common Lisp < R7RS-large.

The time interval between R7RS and R8RS will be longer than any other RnRS thus far. The current standard (R7RS small + large) is not even finished.

The answer is in the practicality for the developers who use Scheme. R7RS-small is that minimal language that is practical for many small-scoped use cases. R7RS-large is for everybody else who desires a big practical standard library for Scheme.
