I want this to succeed!! please do not let the word "srfi" ever appear in the packages list...naming libraries with obscure numbers no one remembers was a terrible terrible idea that all schemes seem to perpetuate
- mattparas 3y agoAt the moment I only have 1 SRFI package, and its just to check against compatibility :) - my plan is to wrap the SRFI packages with friendly names and just include the metadata in the package spec so someone searching for it can find it easily.
- zelphirkalt 3y agoIt is a standard. What do you expect? But there are some or many Schemes that offer their own libs on top or below SRFI implementations, which then have readable names.
- adastra22 3y agoI expect people to willing not conform when nonconformance improves the art.
- aag 3y agoSRFI editor here. The numeric designations are there because, among other reasons, there is sometimes more than one SRFI for a particular general idea. But there is nothing stopping libraries from having more than one name, including a semantically meaningful one. In fact, there has been a SRFI standardizing how that is done since 2008 [1].
