> There's a technical reason for choosing R6RS as well though. To me the defining characteristic of R6RS is the library system. In my mind, this has a pretty clear mapping to WebAssembly modules. Well, this is a clear win for R6RS over R5RS, but R7RS has a much more flexible and well-agreed upon module system. One of the things about R6RS against its favour is that the module system never caught on with the major Scheme implementations (Gauche, Gambit, CHICKEN, Racket), and everyone kind of rolled their own. It's only in recent times that I've notice a lot more activity converging around R7RS. Nonetheless, thanks for responding. Familiarity is a reasonable enough reason for choosing a standard. |
