Was R7RS-large ever ratified? It doesn't look so to me, but it's been so long that I'm not sure I'm looking in the right places.

- wrycoder 6y agoYes, it was ratified: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheme_(programming_language)#R7RS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheme_(programming_language)#...
- fanf2 6y agoThat page says R7RS-small was ratified but not R7RS-large, and http://www.scheme-reports.org/ http://www.scheme-reports.org/ says the same
- johncowan 6y agoR7RS-large is a work in progress, and will not have a single "ratification" event. The work has been divided into editions named after colors, which are cumulative. So far the contents of the Red Edition and the Tangerine Edition have been voted on (anyone interested can vote) and are established; the Orange Edition is currently in preparation. We use the SRFI process to develop specific components of an edition, which means that all components already have implementations before they are voted on, usually portable ones. See r7rs.org for details.
- dleslie 6y agoHey John! I'm curious; is there any possibility that Scheme will eventually abandon call/cc in favour of delimited continuations?
