I disagree with your translation. I admit that "SBCL is Common Lisp" is a stretch, but no more than your original "Racket is Scheme". How about instead: LISP 1

I disagree with your translation. I admit that "SBCL is Common Lisp" is a stretch, but no more than your original "Racket is Scheme". How about instead:
LISP 1.5 is like C
Common Lisp is like C++
Scheme is like Objective-C
(ignoring all the other Lisp dialects that have fallen by the wayside: Maclisp, Interlisp, ZetaLisp)
- vseloved 14y agoHere's a more detailed answer: http://lisp-univ-etc.blogspot.com/2013/01/common-lisp-is-just-lisp.html http://lisp-univ-etc.blogspot.com/2013/01/common-lisp-is-jus... I also agree, that Racket is not Scheme, it's a new language. But I stand, that Common Lisp is still a Lisp. Lisp 1.5 would be BCPL or B :) (Why? Because C is in active use, while Lisp 1.5 isn't, so your analogy isn't quite correct)
