Scheme

programming (Originally "Schemer", by analogy with Planner

and Conniver). A small, uniform Lisp dialect with clean

semantics, developed initially by Guy Steele and GeraldSussman in 1975. Scheme uses applicative order reduction

and lexical scope. It treats both functions and

continuations as first-class objects.

One of the most used implementations is DrScheme, others

include Bigloo, Elk, Liar, Orbit, Scheme86 (Indiana

U), SCM, MacScheme (Semantic Microsystems), PC Scheme

(TI), MIT Scheme, and T.

There have been a series of revisions of the report defining

Scheme, known as RRS (Revised Report on Scheme), R2RS

(Revised Revised Report ..), R3RS, R3.899RS, R4RS.
