In what sense is Scheme not powerful? It has TCO, syntax-rules, call/cc, etc.
Of course, all of those are things scheme has that JavaScript doesn't.
- 1ris 11y agoNo types, a very minimal syntax, a standard library so slim that everything interesting is a implementation-detail. And, as I a said, javascript has less. Javascript even lacks integer variables, while scheme has the numeric tower. (Although that is not required by rsr4/rsr5 and that what most implementations care about)
- wtetzner 11y ago> No types, a very minimal syntax I don't see how these make the language less powerful. Especially the syntax part, which plays a big part in Scheme's power, as an enabler for macros. > a standard library so slim I agree with this though.
