Scheme will be 50 years old in 2025. SCHEME: An Interpreter for Extended Lambda Calculus was published in 1975. What kind of celebrations will there be during Scheme's golden jubilee?
There will be fireworks and parades in all towns and cities worldwide. A giant copy of SICP will be paraded through all major cities of the world. Scheme will receive a 21-gun salute in every country. World leaders will make speeches extolling the virtues of Scheme, encouraging everyone to study the liturgical language of SICP regardless of their age, gender, creed, and race. Scheme will unite the world, accelerate technological progress, and usher in an era of peace and prosperity for all humankind.

The great alien warrior parenthesis will thrust his two might curved blades into the daemon Al Ghul, killing it instantly. Parenthesis's nephew is finally released from Al Ghul's influence and adopts the fully dynamic scope of his father, and his father's father.
