Scheme is a
multi-paradigm programming language. It is one of the two main
dialects of
Lisp and supports a number of programming paradigms but is best known for its support of
functional programming. It was developed by
Guy L. Steele and
Gerald Jay Sussman in the 1970s. Scheme was introduced to the academic world via a series of papers now referred to as Sussman and Steele's
Lambda Papers. There are two standards that define the Scheme language: the official
IEEE standard, and a de facto standard called the Revisedn Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme, nearly always abbreviated RnRS, where n is the number of the revision. The current standard is R5RS, and on August 28th, 2007, R6RS, the next major revision of the Scheme language was ratified, with about 2/3rd of the voters in favor of R6RS.
