Wow, even the introduction is incredible.
"Python 3.0 (a.k.a. "Python 3000" or "Py3k") is a new version of the language that is incompatible with the 2.x line of releases. The language is mostly the same, but many details, especially how built-in objects like dictionaries and strings work, have changed considerably, and a lot of deprecated features have finally been removed. Also, the standard library has been reorganized in a few prominent places."
I have never seen a release for a new language be so clear and straightforward. That's awesome.
- omouse 18y agoWhat about Scheme R6RS? http://www.r6rs.org/final/html/r6rs/r6rs-Z-H-1.html http://www.r6rs.org/final/html/r6rs/r6rs-Z-H-1.html The report gives a defining description of the programming language Scheme. Scheme is a statically scoped and properly tail-recursive dialect of the Lisp programming language invented by Guy Lewis Steele Jr. and Gerald Jay Sussman. It was designed to have an exceptionally clear and simple semantics and few different ways to form expressions. A wide variety of programming paradigms, including functional, imperative, and message passing styles, find convenient expression in Scheme.
