- lsb 18y agoSo, one of the new things about Scheme in the late 70s was having TCO in the spec. Strictly speaking, it's not Scheme (though it may be just another lisp1) if tail-recursion isn't baked in.
- zitterbewegung 18y agoAnother case of scheme in name only. Why does everyone call new lisp-1's scheme instead of lisp-1?
