The programming language Scheme was originally named Schemer against Actors ;-)
The monad (https://wiki.haskell.org/Monad https://wiki.haskell.org/Monad) is another mostly unsuccessful lambda calculus way to try to address some of the issues resolved in the Actor Model.
- agumonkey 7y agoMy english is failing me, what's the meaning behind 'schemers against actors' ? I only knew about actors for its scheme influence and the fact that it was highly concurrent (even this I'm not so sure). I got into college way too late for it to be studied sadly.
- ProfHewitt 7y agoThe original name of the programming language Scheme was "Schemer", which was shortened by removing the last character because of file system limitations. The motivation for the name Schemer was that the authors were scheming against Actors analogous to the programming Conniver, where the authors were conniving against Planner.
- agumonkey 7y agoOh I see the trail goes deep. Interesting.
