If there is no nil in scheme, what did you mean when you said that taking car or dr of nil is an error in scheme?
- lisper 2y agoYou need to read more carefully. The claim was not that there is no NIL in Scheme, the claim was that Scheme does not have a "NIL in the sense that other Lisps like CL or Elisp have". There is a NIL is Scheme, but it's just a symbol like any other with no privileged status. Also, in colloquial use, the word "nil" is often taken to be a synonym for "the empty list" even when talking about Scheme.
