Procedural Fascicle for R7RS Large Scheme
Scheme Working Group 2 is pleased to announce the first draft of the second part of the R7RS-Large Foundations, the "Procedural Fascicle." This draft encompasses the familiar block programming forms, such as lambda, let, if, or, and set!. The draft is available here: https://r7rs.org/large/fascicles/proc/ The biggest new feature is the ability to mix definitions and expressions in bodies, such as the body of a lambda. For example, the following is now valid: (define (map f lst) (unless (list? lst) (error 'map "not a list" lst)) (define (map* lst acc) (if (null? lst) (reverse acc) (map* (cdr lst) (cons (f (car lst)) acc)))) (map* lst '())) We welcome any and all comments on the draft. Anyone can comment by: Filing an issue on the R7RS-Large issue tracker Sending mail to the Working Group 2 mailing list (you do not need a Google account) Sending mail to the Scheme Reports mailing list at [email protected] Sending mail to the cor
