Scheme isn't "a community project". It is an universe of many implementations. Having an agreed standard for this is very valuable. It gives a reference, which everyone will want to follow for interoperability. But by creating the standard, things are discussed, so flaws might be discovered and avoided and of course, it gives a clear definition.
- xedrac 3y agoIn practice, Scheme isn't interoperable - you pick a Scheme implementation and pretty much stick with it. Different schemes implement different subsets of SFRIs, and many bring their own non-standard batteries to the table. I think having r7rs large would eventually make the language more interoperable.
