R6RS was basically DOA, with only 3 or 4 implementers (Guile, Ikarus, Ypsilon, and (partially) Racket) actually going along with it. Most of the other implementers, most notably CHICKEN's Felix Winkelman, refused. R7RS is now split into a small core, and a large standard library for practical, as opposed to teaching, use, whose development STILL isn't done.
- lispm 11y agoThe R7RS homepage says something different: >This is the home page for R7RS, the Revised⁷ Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme. This version of Scheme has been divided into a small language, suitable for educators, researchers, and users of embedded languages; and a large language focused on the practical needs of mainstream software development. >The report on the small language was finalized on July 6, 2013. It is available in PDF format and as LaTeX source code. There are errata. >The development of the large language is still in progress. For details on the development process of both languages, see the Scheme Reports home page and the Working Groups home page.
