scheme and common lisp?

• arockwell 18y ago
  Isn't scheme a subset of common lisp (at least loosely speaking)?
  • kragen 18y ago
    No, not even close.

    For one thing, scheme has continuations, a powerful construct that Common Lisp lacks. But it's true that Common Lisp is generally more "featureful".
    • arockwell 18y ago
      That's a feature that scheme has that common lisp doesn't, but is this supported by a new syntax? I think that it is not clear cut what is a syntactical difference versus a difference in the feature set. edit: I guess what I'm really asking is there someway in lisp to make a construct that would look just like call/cc? If you could then that's just a feature difference, but if you can't I would agree that's a syntactical difference.
