Scheme@33, by William D Clinger.

A look at the first 33 years of Scheme. I was unfamiliar with the original story so I was delighted to learn about how it was discovered. It shortly describes some of the research contributions that Scheme enabled, its strengths and its weakness. The part about standardization was interesting.

This is an ``extended abstract'', I hope it still counts.

Apparently Scheme was originally called Schemer but fall prey to the creat trap. I wonder if it was easier to search for it if it still had its original name.
