Charter

=======
|

||||||
|
Standardization Committees
|
||||||
|
--------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Steering Committee
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The creation of Scheme standards shall be governed by a Steering
|
||||||
|
Committee that consists of three members. Its responsibility is to
|
||||||
|
ensure that the standardization process continues, and to establish
|
||||||
|
processes by which draft standards are reviewed and accepted by
|
||||||
|
the Scheme community at large.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Steering Committee must replace members who
|
||||||
|
leave. Replacements must be selected within three months, and the
|
||||||
|
Steering Committee must announce the replacement to the Scheme
|
||||||
|
community at large. The Steering Committee itself shall establish
|
||||||
|
procedures for replacing its members.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This charter can be amended only by a unanimous vote of the
|
||||||
|
Steering Committee.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Standard Editors
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The creation of Scheme standards documents shall be governed by a
|
||||||
|
committee of five Editors, including a Chair and a Project Editor. The
|
||||||
|
Chair is responsible for organizing meetings and other activities and
|
||||||
|
ensuring that the process makes progress in an orderly fashion. The
|
||||||
|
Project Editor is responsible for producing standardization
|
||||||
|
documents. None of the Editors may be a member of the Steering
|
||||||
|
Committee.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When the Editors have produced a candidate standard, they present
|
||||||
|
it to the Steering Committee for review and acceptance. The
|
||||||
|
Steering Committee shall make no rule concerning the process by
|
||||||
|
which a candidate standard is produced or revised, but Editors are
|
||||||
|
encouraged to exploit the Scheme Request for Implementation (SRFI)
|
||||||
|
process for gathering opinions and suggestions from the Scheme
|
||||||
|
community at large.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Steering Committee must replace Editors who leave. The
|
||||||
|
replacements must be selected within three months, and the Steering
|
||||||
|
Committee must announce the replacement to the Scheme community at
|
||||||
|
large.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If an editor resigns, the Chair should notify the
|
||||||
|
Steering Committee so that he may be replaced. The Chair
|
||||||
|
may of course try to convince the editor to withdraw his
|
||||||
|
resignation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Chair can request that an editor submit a letter of
|
||||||
|
resignation, so long as such requests are made in good faith and
|
||||||
|
for good cause.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If the Chair requests a letter of resignation from an
|
||||||
|
editor, and the editor declines to resign, then the matter should
|
||||||
|
be resolved by the Steering Committee. The Steering Committee may
|
||||||
|
investigate and take whatever actions they deem necessary to
|
||||||
|
resolve the matter up to, and including, the involuntary removal of
|
||||||
|
one or more editors, possibly including the Chair.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Scheme Request for Implementation (SRFI) Editors
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Scheme Request for Implementation process shall remain the
|
||||||
|
primary vehicle for language design and discussion by the Scheme
|
||||||
|
community at large. SRFI standards shall be governed by the SRFI
|
||||||
|
Editors, and shall not be governed or endorsed by the Steering
|
||||||
|
Committee. Standard Editors are encouraged to draw on the SRFI
|
||||||
|
process in developing Scheme standards.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Recommended Timeline
|
||||||
|
--------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Steering Committee and Editors are ultimately responsible for the
|
||||||
|
process of Scheme standardization. Nevertheless, as the intent of this
|
||||||
|
charter is to make timely progress towards a standard, the following
|
||||||
|
timeline and process suggestions (for a single round of standards) may
|
||||||
|
serve as a benchmark for the actual process.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Drafting
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Editors should produce a draft standard core Scheme, a draft
|
||||||
|
module system, and a draft set of initial libraries within 24
|
||||||
|
months of the Editors' establishment.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
During these 24 months, the Editors are encouraged to produce short
|
||||||
|
status reports every 6 months, posted at www.schemers.org. The
|
||||||
|
Editors are also encouraged to solicit opinions on specific issues
|
||||||
|
concerning the draft. The Editors are further encouraged to record
|
||||||
|
electronic discussions and meeting minutes in a publicly readable
|
||||||
|
archive.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If the Editors require more than 24 months to complete the draft,
|
||||||
|
they are encouraged to report this as soon as possible to the
|
||||||
|
Steering Committee. If the Editors determine they are unable to
|
||||||
|
produce a draft, they should report this to the Steering Committee
|
||||||
|
as soon as possible.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Review
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When the Editors finish the draft standards, they should provide
|
||||||
|
the drafts to the Steering Committee, who should in turn publish
|
||||||
|
the drafts on schemers.org.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
After this, the members of the Steering Committee and the scheme
|
||||||
|
community at large have 6 months to voice concerns, criticism, and
|
||||||
|
suggestions for improving the drafts.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Editors should attempt to respond to each voiced concern,
|
||||||
|
detailing a rationale against a concern or indicating the way that
|
||||||
|
the drafts will change to address a concern.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The editors are encouraged to publish numbered (or otherwise
|
||||||
|
identified) intermediate revisions of the report during the review
|
||||||
|
period, and announce them on schemers.org.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Finalization
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
After the end of the review period, the Editors should submit new
|
||||||
|
drafts within three months. The Steering Committee should then
|
||||||
|
choose either to finalize the drafts or to restart the review
|
||||||
|
process.

<h3>A Charter for Change (R6RS)</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
A draft version of R6RS is now available from
|
||||||
|
<a href="http://www.r6rs.org/"><code>www.r6rs.org</code></a>.
|
||||||
|
The charter provides for a six-month public comment period.
|
||||||
|
The comment period is now open and will continue until March 15, 2007.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
The R6RS editors asked for the following announcements to be included
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
Shortly after we began our work, we created a mailing list for our
|
||||||
|
discussions and agreed that the mailing list archive should be made
|
||||||
|
public at some point after the R6RS was published. During our
|
||||||
|
September 12, 2006 meeting, we voted to make the archive public
|
||||||
|
immediately. It has taken us a while to get around to it, but the
|
||||||
|
archive is now available at
|
||||||
|
<a href="http://www.r6rs.org/r6rs-editors/"><code>http://www.r6rs.org/r6rs-editors/</code></a>.

||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
During our October 19, 2006 meeting, we committed to providing a
|
||||||
|
formal response by December 15, 2006 to all formal comments submitted
|
||||||
|
by November 15, 2006. The timing of our formal responses to formal
|
||||||
|
comments submitted after that date will be decided at a later time.
|
||||||
|
For more information on the formal review process, see

|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
Also during our October 19th meeting, we committed to producing a new
|
||||||
|
draft of the R6RS by January 15, 2007, which will take into account
|
||||||
|
comments and suggestions made by November 15, 2006. LaTeX source code
|

will also be provided for the drafts.

Editors, and shall not be governed or endorsed by the Steering
|
||||||
|
Committee. Standard Editors are encouraged to draw on the SRFI
|
||||||
|
process in developing Scheme standards.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Recommended Timeline
|
||||||
|
--------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Steering Committee and Editors are ultimately responsible for the
|
||||||
|
process of Scheme standardization. Nevertheless, as the intent of this
|
||||||
|
charter is to make timely progress towards a standard, the following
|
||||||
|
timeline and process suggestions (for a single round of standards) may
|
||||||
|
serve as a benchmark for the actual process.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Drafting
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Editors should produce a draft standard core Scheme, a draft
|
||||||
|
module system, and a draft set of initial libraries within 24
|
||||||
|
months of the Editors' establishment.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
During these 24 months, the Editors are encouraged to produce short
|
||||||
|
status reports every 6 months, posted at www.schemers.org. The
|
||||||
|
Editors are also encouraged to solicit opinions on specific issues
|
||||||
|
concerning the draft. The Editors are further encouraged to record
|
||||||
|
electronic discussions and meeting minutes in a publicly readable
|
||||||
|
archive.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If the Editors require more than 24 months to complete the draft,
|
||||||
|
they are encouraged to report this as soon as possible to the
|
||||||
|
Steering Committee. If the Editors determine they are unable to
|
||||||
|
produce a draft, they should report this to the Steering Committee
|
||||||
|
as soon as possible.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Review
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When the Editors finish the draft standards, they should provide
|
||||||
|
the drafts to the Steering Committee, who should in turn publish
|
||||||
|
the drafts on schemers.org.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
After this, the members of the Steering Committee and the scheme
|
||||||
|
community at large have 6 months to voice concerns, criticism, and
|
||||||
|
suggestions for improving the drafts.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Editors should attempt to respond to each voiced concern,
|
||||||
|
detailing a rationale against a concern or indicating the way that
|
||||||
|
the drafts will change to address a concern.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The editors are encouraged to publish numbered (or otherwise
|
||||||
|
identified) intermediate revisions of the report during the review
|
||||||
|
period, and announce them on schemers.org.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Finalization
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
After the end of the review period, the Editors should submit new
|
||||||
|
drafts within three months. The Steering Committee should then
|
||||||
|
choose either to finalize the drafts or to restart the review
|
||||||
|
process.

The March 2005 R6RS Status Report
|
||||||
|
=================================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Consolidation
|
||||||
|
-------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We have voted on a number of the decisions listed in the Revised R6RS
|
||||||
|
Status Report. Among the minor but visible decisions made are:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- the addition of multi-line and S-expression comments
|
||||||
|
- change to case-sensitive lexical syntax
|
||||||
|
- add balanced square brackets as a synonym for parentheses
|
||||||
|
- add LETREC*
|
||||||
|
- specify internal DEFINE in terms of LETREC*
|
||||||
|
- all datums will be serializable and obey read/write invariance
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Unicode support
|
||||||
|
---------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We have written up a proposal for Unicode support that defines the
|
||||||
|
notion of "char" to be a Unicode scalar value---strings are simply
|
||||||
|
vectors of these scalar values. This allows Unicode support to be
|
||||||
|
largely a conservative extension of the character and string processing
|
||||||
|
in R5RS, and avoids the API problems inherent in using a UTF-16-based
|
||||||
|
representation. Moreover, this approach has already been successfully
|
||||||
|
implemented by several Scheme implementations.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Along with Unicode support, we are also considering extensions to the
|
||||||
|
character and string literal syntax. Details are still under
|
||||||
|
discussion.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Exception Handling
|
||||||
|
------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
An exception handling system has been proposed. Its design is based
|
||||||
|
on SRFI 34, SRFI 35, with an added condition hierarchy for bugs, in
|
||||||
|
addition to the hierarchy for errors that is part of SRFI
|
||||||
|
35. It is too early to say if this proposal will be adopted as there
|
||||||
|
are interactions with features that remain to be discussed
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Numerical tower
|
||||||
|
---------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A subcommittee was formed with a mandate to propose revisions to the
|
||||||
|
numerical tower to the whole committee. While the full proposal is
|
||||||
|
not yet finished, the subcommittee believes that sets of operations
|
||||||
|
for exact arithmetic and floating-point arithmetic should be separated
|
||||||
|
out. The subcommittee is still debating the semantics of the generic
|
||||||
|
numerical operations, and the issues connected to reading and writing
|
||||||
|
external representations of numbers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Module System
|
||||||
|
-------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The R6RS committee has put significant effort into the module system
|
||||||
|
issue. Some members of the committee have written strawman proposals.
|
||||||
|
However, the differences between these proposals is too large to allow
|
||||||
|
for a simple unification of the systems. We have written up a summary
|
||||||
|
with a discussion of the various issues, and how they relate to the
|
||||||
|
various proposals.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In particular, the proposed module systems all address different sets
|
||||||
|
of requirements, and hit very different spots on the design spectrum:
|
||||||
|
presently it seems at least very difficult to address all different
|
||||||
|
requirements with a single mechanism in the language.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Specifically, a module system akin to the one in Chez Scheme which is
|
||||||
|
integrated with the core language, handles the manipulation of
|
||||||
|
environments in a uniform manner, at the cost of complicating the
|
||||||
|
static semantics of the language.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
On the other hand, module systems like those of PLT Scheme, Scheme 48
|
||||||
|
or Bigloo at least partly reside in a language that is separate from
|
||||||
|
the core language, thus trading simplicity and easier processing of
|
||||||
|
the module language for expressive power.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It would be nice to separate the concerns of environment manipulation
|
||||||
|
and linking, both of which are in some degree part of all the proposed
|
||||||
|
module systems. However, this is a technically difficult issue, and
|
||||||
|
we expect that significant additional effort will be needed to resolve
|
||||||
|
it. It seems probable that little progress can be made without
|
||||||
|
significant additional compromise.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Records
|
||||||
|
-------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We expect a system for defining record types to be part of R6RS, and
|
||||||
|
are exploring the design space for such systems. Two concrete
|
||||||
|
proposals have been written.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Procedural issues
|
||||||
|
-----------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A shared CVS archive has been set up to enable work on the actual
|
||||||
|
document. We're also currently testing video-conferencing to allow
|
||||||
|
interactive discussions.

Charter

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Standardization Committees
|
||||||
|
--------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Steering Committee
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The creation of Scheme standards shall be governed by a Steering
|
||||||
|
Committee that consists of three members. Its responsibility is to
|
||||||
|
ensure that the standardization process continues, and to establish
|
||||||
|
processes by which draft standards are reviewed and accepted by
|
||||||
|
the Scheme community at large.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Steering Committee must replace members who
|
||||||
|
leave. Replacements must be selected within three months, and the
|
||||||
|
Steering Committee must announce the replacement to the Scheme
|
||||||
|
community at large. The Steering Committee itself shall establish
|
||||||
|
procedures for replacing its members.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This charter can be amended only by a unanimous vote of the
|
||||||
|
Steering Committee.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Standard Editors
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The creation of Scheme standards documents shall be governed by a
|
||||||
|
committee of seven Editors, including Editor-in-Chief. The
|
||||||
|
Editor-in-Chief is responsible for producing standardization
|
||||||
|
documents. None of the Editors may be a member of the Steering
|
||||||
|
Committee.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When the Editors have produced a candidate standard, they present
|
||||||
|
it to the Steering Committee for review and acceptance. The
|
||||||
|
Steering Committee shall make no rule concerning the process by
|
||||||
|
which a candidate standard is produced or revised, but Editors are
|
||||||
|
encouraged to exploit the Scheme Request for Implementation (SRFI)
|
||||||
|
process for gathering opinions and suggestions from the Scheme
|
||||||
|
community at large.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Steering Committee must replace Editors who leave. The
|
||||||
|
replacements must be selected within three months, and the Steering
|
||||||
|
Committee must announce the replacement to the Scheme community at
|
||||||
|
large.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<text added 10-04>
|
||||||
|
If an editor resigns, the Editor-in-Chief should notify the
|
||||||
|
Steering Committee so that he may be replaced. The Editor-in-Chief
|
||||||
|
may of course try to convince the editor to withdraw his
|
||||||
|
resignation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Editor-in-Chief can request that an editor submit a letter of
|
||||||
|
resignation, so long as such requests are made in good faith and
|
||||||
|
for good cause.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If the Editor-in-Chief requests a letter of resignation from an
|
||||||
|
editor, and the editor declines to resign, then the matter should
|
||||||
|
be resolved by the Steering Committee. The Steering Committee may
|
||||||
|
investigate and take whatever actions they deem necessary to
|
||||||
|
resolve the matter up to, and including, the involuntary removal of
|
||||||
|
one or more editors, possibly including the Editor-in-Chief.

||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Scheme Request for Implementation (SRFI) Editors
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Scheme Request for Implementation process shall remain the
|
||||||
|
primary vehicle for language design and discussion by the Scheme
|
||||||
|
community at large. SRFI standards shall be governed by the SRFI
|
||||||
|
Editors, and shall not be governed or endorsed by the Steering
|
||||||
|
Committee. Standard Editors are encouraged to draw on the SRFI
|
||||||
|
process in developing Scheme standards.

Scheme Language Steering Committee Report to the Community
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
March 1, 2006
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Since the last report of the Steering Committee, a number of important
|
||||||
|
changes have taken place.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
First, Marc Feeley and Manuel Serrano have resigned from the Editors
|
||||||
|
Committee. We have accepted their resignations with regret, and with
|
||||||
|
gratitude for the efforts they have expended to produce a revised
|
||||||
|
Scheme standard.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In light of these changes, the Steering Committee has amended the
|
||||||
|
Charter to:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(a) change the number of Editors from seven to five.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(b) replace the office of Editor-in-Chief by a Chair and a Project
|
||||||
|
Editor. The Chair is responsible for organizing meetings and other
|
||||||
|
activities and ensuring that the process makes progress in an orderly
|
||||||
|
fashion. The Project Editor is responsible for producing
|
||||||
|
standardization documents.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The five editors have chosen their Chair and Project Editor. They
|
||||||
|
are:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Chair: Kent Dybvig
|
||||||
|
Project Editor: Mike Sperber
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Editors Committee has now produced a progress report, which is
|
||||||
|
available at schemers.org. In it they state their intention to
|
||||||
|
deliver to the Steering Committee a complete draft R6RS by September
|
||||||
|
1, 2006.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Steering Committee looks forward to receiving their draft.

This status report describes the current state of the R<sup>6</sup>RS
|

standardization effort.
|

It covers principles we have outlined to guide the effort,

decisions we have made to date, our work in progress, and the process
|
||||||
|
by which we intend to complete the R<sup>6</sup>RS.

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
To help guide the standardization effort, the editors have adopted a
|
||||||
|
set of principles, presented below.
|
||||||
|
They are, like R<sup>6</sup>RS itself, a work in progress and still subject
|
||||||
|
to change.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Like R<sup>5</sup>RS Scheme, R<sup>6</sup>RS Scheme should:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>derive its power from simplicity, a small number of generally
|
||||||
|
useful core syntactic forms and procedures, and no unnecessary
|
||||||
|
restrictions on how they are composed;
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<li>allow programs to define new procedures and new hygienic
|
||||||
|
syntactic forms;
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<li>support the traditional s-expression representation of program
|
||||||
|
source code as data;
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<li>make procedure calls powerful enough to express any form of
|
||||||
|
sequential control, and allow programs to perform non-local control
|
||||||
|
operations without the use of global program transformations;
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<li>allow interesting, purely functional programs to run indefinitely
|
||||||
|
without terminating or running out of memory on finite-memory
|
||||||
|
machines;
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<li>allow educators to use the language to teach programming
|
||||||
|
effectively, at various levels and with a variety of pedagogical
|
||||||
|
approaches;
|
||||||
|
and
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<li>allow researchers to use the language to explore the design,
|
||||||
|
implementation, and semantics of programming languages.
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
In addition, R<sup>6</sup>RS Scheme should:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>allow programmers to create and distribute substantial
|
||||||
|
programs and libraries, e.g., SRFI implementations, that run
|
||||||
|
without modification in a variety of Scheme implementations;
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<li>support procedural, syntactic, and data abstraction more fully
|
||||||
|
by allowing programs to define hygiene-bending and hygiene-breaking
|
||||||
|
syntactic abstractions and new unique datatypes along with
|
||||||
|
procedures and hygienic macros in any scope;
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<li>allow programmers to rely on a level of automatic run-time type
|
||||||
|
and bounds checking sufficient to ensure type safety while also
|
||||||
|
providing a standard way to declare whether such checks are
|
||||||
|
desired;
|
||||||
|
and
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<li>allow implementations to generate efficient code, without requiring
|
||||||
|
programmers to use implementation-specific operators or
|
||||||
|
declarations.
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
In general, R<sup>6</sup>RS should include building blocks that allow a wide
|
||||||
|
variety of libraries to be written, include commonly used user-level
|
||||||
|
features to enhance portability and readability of library and application
|
||||||
|
code, and exclude features that are less commonly used and easily
|
||||||
|
implemented in separate libraries.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
R<sup>6</sup>RS Scheme should also be backward compatible with programs
|
||||||
|
written in R<sup>5</sup>RS Scheme to the extent possible without compromising
|
||||||
|
the above principles and future viability of the language.
|
||||||
|
With respect to future viability, we operate under the assumption that
|
||||||
|
many more Scheme programs will be written in the future than exist in
|
||||||
|
the present, so the future programs are those with which we must be
|
||||||
|
most concerned.

Most of the standardization effort is currently focused on several
|
||||||
|
subsystems: libraries, records, Unicode, arithmetic, exceptions, I/O,
|
||||||
|
modules, and hash tables.
|
||||||
|
Sections <a href="./status-mar-2006.html#g11">4.1</a>-<a href="./status-mar-2006.html#g17">4.7</a> list for
|
||||||
|
each subsystem a set of informal requirements the editors have
|
||||||
|
identified, the current status, and open questions.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
In several cases, a subsystem is up for discussion as a SRFI in order to
|
||||||
|
give the editors a chance to inform the community of the ongoing work
|
||||||
|
and obtain valuable feedback from the community.
|
||||||
|
The final mechanism adopted for R<sup>6</sup>RS may, however, differ in minor
|
||||||
|
or significant ways from the published SRFI.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
A list of other items up for consideration is given in
|
||||||
|
Section <a href="./status-mar-2006.html#g18">4.8</a>.
|
||||||
|
These have not received as much attention to date, usually because they
|
||||||
|
involve less complex or far-reaching changes or are considered to be of
|
||||||
|
lower priority.

|
<p>
|

Informal requirements:
|
||||||
|
support distribution of portable libraries,
|
||||||
|
support identification of library location,
|
||||||
|
namespace management,
|
||||||
|
export/import of macros,
|
||||||
|
permit separate but dependent analysis and compilation,
|
||||||
|
support generation of efficient compiled code,
|
||||||
|
ability to define new libraries.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Support for libraries is under community discussion via SRFI 83.
|
||||||
|
Two big issues have arisen: the need to clarify phases,
|
||||||
|
e.g., for compile-time modules that import at
|
||||||
|
compile-time, and how library names are written
|
||||||
|
(coding as strings is controversial).
|
||||||
|
Still up in the air are the extent to which the syntax of
|
||||||
|
<tt>import</tt> and <tt>export</tt> forms is tied down,
|
||||||
|
what built-in libraries besides <tt>r6rs</tt> there might
|
||||||
|
be, and whether there is to be support for user-defined
|
||||||
|
libraries.

Informal requirements:

syntactic interface,

mutable fields.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Support for records is under community discussion via SRFI 76.
|
||||||
|
Still to be settled is whether generativity should be specified,
|
||||||
|
e.g., as expand-time or run-time and also whether to elide or
|
||||||
|
provide a rationale for the "sealed" feature.

|
<p>
|

|
Informal requirements:
|
||||||
|
provision for Unicode characters and
|
||||||
|
character syntax, Unicode strings and string syntax; Unicode
|
||||||
|
character I/O; <tt>integer->char</tt> and <tt>char->integer</tt> are inverse
|
||||||
|
operations and support Unicode-specific text encodings;
|
||||||
|
write/read invariance for every datum, including symbols.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Support for Unicode is under community discussion via SRFI 75.
|
||||||
|
Open issues include what normalization and character representation
|
||||||
|
to use.
|
||||||
|
We will probably use normalization form "C," and
|
||||||
|
Scheme characters will likely correspond to Unicode scalar values
|
||||||
|
(which can be represented by a 21-bit fixed-length encoding, but
|
||||||
|
other representations are also possible).

Informal requirements:

support for IEEE zeros, infinities, and NaNs,

clean up behavior of <tt>eqv?</tt> wrt numbers,

fix certain arithmetic operations,
|

|
transparency.
|

|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Changes for R<sup>6</sup>RS arithmetic are under community discussion via SRFI 77.
|
||||||
|
There is general agreement to require the full tower and to
|
||||||
|
require that real? implies an exact zero imaginary part.
|
||||||
|
Among the open questions are whether fixnum, flonum, exact-only,
|
||||||
|
and inexact-only operations should be in separate libraries rather
|
||||||
|
than in the core language.

Informal requirements:

clarify the meaning of "is an error,"

view exception handling as a means of communication between

parts of the program.

Proposals for this subsystem are currently under discussion.
|

|
No R<sup>6</sup>RS-specific SRFIs have been published, and no decisions have
|
||||||
|
been made.
|
||||||
|
There is, however, general agreement to use SRFI 34 as a basis for
|
||||||
|
the R<sup>6</sup>RS exception-handling system.

Informal requirements:

byte vectors,

block read/write operations.
|

|
|

<p>
|
||||||
|
This subsystem actually addresses two separable issues here: potential
|
||||||
|
additions changes to I/O and the inclusion of a byte-vector datatype.
|
||||||
|
The byte-vector datatype is necessary to support block read/write
|

|
operations.

The editors have decided to adopt <tt>syntax-case</tt> as currently

implemented in Chez Scheme and Dr. Scheme, with various differences

|
to be worked out by Dybvig and Flatt.
|
||||||
|
Also, the underscore identifier ("<tt>_</tt>") will no longer be
|
||||||
|
a pattern variable but instead a special identifier that matches
|

any input, and underscore will be allowed in place of the keyword
|

We intend to deliver a draft R<sup>6</sup>RS to the Steering Committee by
|
||||||
|
September 1, 2006.
|
||||||
|
In order to meet this target, we plan to wrap up work on the various
|
||||||
|
subsystems, decide on the core language/library split, and create a
|
||||||
|
rough internal (editors only) draft of the R<sup>6</sup>RS by mid-June.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
For each of the subsystems, the core/library split, and the safe/unsafe
|
||||||
|
mode mechanism and semantics, we have assigned
|
||||||
|
a single editor to be responsible for ensuring progress.
|
||||||
|
We have also assigned one or more additional editors to help.
|
||||||
|
These assignments are shown below.

As time permits, we will also discuss as a group the other possible
|
||||||
|
features and changes described in Section <a href="./status-mar-2006.html#g18">4.8</a>,
|
||||||
|
as well as additional ones that may arise, and decide which are to be
|
||||||
|
incorporated into R<sup>6</sup>RS.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Responsibility for making sure that the editors complete their work and
|
||||||
|
communicate effectively lies with the chair (Dybvig) and responsibility
|
||||||
|
for creating the R<sup>6</sup>RS drafts lies with the project editor (Sperber).

<a href="r5rs-Z-H-2.html#%_toc_%_chap_Temp_1">Summary</a></h1><p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The report gives a defining description of the programming language
|
||||||
|
Scheme. Scheme is a statically scoped and properly tail-recursive
|
||||||
|
dialect of the Lisp programming language invented by Guy Lewis
|
||||||
|
Steele Jr. and Gerald Jay Sussman. It was designed to have an
|
||||||
|
exceptionally clear and simple semantics and few different ways to
|
||||||
|
form expressions. A wide variety of programming paradigms, including
|
||||||
|
imperative, functional, and message passing styles, find convenient
|
||||||
|
expression in Scheme.<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The introduction offers a brief history of the language and of
|
||||||
|
the report.<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The first three chapters present the fundamental ideas of the
|
||||||
|
language and describe the notational conventions used for describing the
|
||||||
|
language and for writing programs in the language.<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Chapters <a href="r5rs-Z-H-7.html#%_chap_4">4</a> and <a href="r5rs-Z-H-8.html#%_chap_5">5</a> describe
|
||||||
|
the syntax and semantics of expressions, programs, and definitions.<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Chapter <a href="r5rs-Z-H-9.html#%_chap_6">6</a> describes Scheme's built-in
|
||||||
|
procedures, which include all of the language's data manipulation and
|
||||||
|
input/output primitives.<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Chapter <a href="r5rs-Z-H-10.html#%_chap_7">7</a> provides a formal syntax for Scheme
|
||||||
|
written in extended BNF, along with a formal denotational semantics.
|
||||||
|
An example of the use of the language follows the formal syntax and
|
||||||
|
semantics.<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The report concludes with a list of references and an
|
||||||
|
alphabetic index.<p>

<p>

|
This section provides a formal syntax for Scheme written in an extended
|
||||||
|
BNF.<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All spaces in the grammar are for legibility. Case is insignificant;
|
||||||
|
for example, <tt>#x1A</tt> and <tt>#X1a</tt> are equivalent. <empty>
|
||||||
|
stands for the empty string.<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The following extensions to BNF are used to make the description more
|
||||||
|
concise: <thing>* means zero or more occurrences of
|
||||||
|
<thing>; and <thing><sup>+</sup> means at least one
|
||||||
|
<thing>.<p>

This section describes how individual tokens<a name="%_idx_636"></a> (identifiers,
|
||||||
|
numbers, etc.) are formed from sequences of characters. The following
|
||||||
|
sections describe how expressions and programs are formed from sequences
|
||||||
|
of tokens.<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<Intertoken space> may occur on either side of any token, but not
|
||||||
|
within a token.<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Tokens which require implicit termination (identifiers, numbers,
|
||||||
|
characters, and dot) may be terminated by any <delimiter>, but not
|
||||||
|
necessarily by anything else.<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The following five characters are reserved for future extensions to the
|
||||||
|
language: <tt><code class=verbatim>[</code> <code class=verbatim>]</code> <code class=verbatim>{</code> <code class=verbatim>}</code> <code class=verbatim>|</code></tt><p>

The following grammar for quasiquote expressions is not context-free.
|

It is presented as a recipe for generating an infinite number of

This section provides a formal denotational semantics for the primitive
|
||||||
|
expressions of Scheme and selected built-in procedures. The concepts
|
||||||
|
and notation used here are described in [<a href="r5rs-Z-H-14.html#%_sec_7.3">29</a>]; the notation is
|
||||||
|
summarized below:<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p><div align=left><img src="r5rs-Z-G-12.gif" border="0"></div><p><p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The reason that expression continuations take sequences of values instead
|
||||||
|
of single values is to simplify the formal treatment of procedure calls
|
||||||
|
and multiple return values.<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The boolean flag associated with pairs, vectors, and strings will be true
|
||||||
|
for mutable objects and false for immutable objects.<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The order of evaluation within a call is unspecified. We mimic that
|
||||||
|
here by applying arbitrary permutations <i>permute</i> and <i>unpermute</i>, which must be inverses, to the arguments in a call before
|
||||||
|
and after they are evaluated. This is not quite right since it suggests,
|
||||||
|
incorrectly, that the order of evaluation is constant throughout a program (for
|
||||||
|
any given number of arguments), but it is a closer approximation to the intended
|
||||||
|
semantics than a left-to-right evaluation would be.<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The storage allocator <i>new</i> is implementation-dependent, but it must
|
||||||
|
obey the following axiom: if <i>new</i> <img src="r5rs-Z-G-D-2.gif" border="0"> <img src="r5rs-Z-G-D-4.gif" border="0"> <tt><em>L</em></tt>, then
|
||||||
|
<img src="r5rs-Z-G-D-2.gif" border="0"> (<i>new</i> <img src="r5rs-Z-G-D-2.gif" border="0"> | <tt><em>L</em></tt>)<img src="r5rs-Z-G-D-7.gif" border="0"> 2 = <i><em>f</em><em>a</em><em>l</em><em>s</em><em>e</em></i>.<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The definition of <img src="r5rs-Z-G-D-5.gif" border="0"> is omitted because an accurate definition of
|
||||||
|
<img src="r5rs-Z-G-D-5.gif" border="0"> would complicate the semantics without being very interesting.<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If P is a program in which all variables are defined before being
|
||||||
|
referenced or assigned, then the meaning of P is
|
||||||
|
<p><div align=left><img src="r5rs-Z-G-13.gif" border="0"></div><p>
|
||||||
|
where I* is the sequence of variables defined in P, P'
|
||||||
|
is the sequence of expressions obtained by replacing every definition
|
||||||
|
in P by an assignment, <undefined> is an expression that evaluates
|
||||||
|
to <i>undefined</i>, and
|
||||||
|
<img src="r5rs-Z-G-D-6.gif" border="0"> is the semantic function that assigns meaning to expressions.<p>

The following <tt>letrec</tt> macro uses the symbol <tt><undefined></tt>

a location makes it an error to try to obtain the value stored in the

|

A trick is used to generate the temporary names needed to avoid

specifying the order in which the values are evaluated.

This could also be accomplished by using an auxiliary macro.<p>

The following alternative expansion for <tt>begin</tt> does not make use of

the ability to write more than one expression in the body of a lambda

<h3><a href="r5rs-Z-H-2.html#%_toc_%_sec_Temp_7">Language changes</a></h3><p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This section enumerates the changes that have been made to Scheme since
|
||||||
|
the ``Revised<sup>4</sup> report'' [<a href="r5rs-Z-H-14.html#%_sec_7.3">6</a>] was published.<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p><ul><p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>The report is now a superset of the IEEE standard for Scheme
|
||||||
|
[<a href="r5rs-Z-H-14.html#%_sec_7.3">13</a>]: implementations that conform to the report will
|
||||||
|
also conform to the standard. This required the following changes:
|
||||||
|
<p><ul><p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>The empty list is now required to count as true.<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>The classification of features as essential or inessential has been
|
||||||
|
removed. There are now three classes of built-in procedures: primitive,
|
||||||
|
library, and optional. The optional procedures are <tt>load</tt>,
|
||||||
|
<tt>with-input-from-file</tt>, <tt>with-output-to-file</tt>,
|
||||||
|
<tt>transcript-on</tt>, <tt>transcript-off</tt>, and
|
||||||
|
<tt>interaction-environment</tt>,
|
||||||
|
and <tt>-</tt> and <tt>/</tt> with more than two arguments.
|
||||||
|
None of these are in the IEEE standard.<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>Programs are allowed to redefine built-in procedures. Doing so
|
||||||
|
will not change the behavior of other built-in procedures.
|
||||||
|
</ul><p><p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li><em>Port</em> has been added to the list of disjoint types.<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>The macro appendix has been removed. High-level macros are now part
|
||||||
|
of the main body of the report. The rewrite rules for derived expressions
|
||||||
|
have been replaced with macro definitions. There are no reserved identifiers.<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li><tt>Syntax-rules</tt> now allows vector patterns.<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>Multiple-value returns, <tt>eval</tt>, and <tt>dynamic-wind</tt> have
|
||||||
|
been added.<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>The calls that are required to be implemented in a properly tail-recursive
|
||||||
|
fashion are defined explicitly.<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>`<tt>@</tt>' can be used within identifiers. `<tt><code class=verbatim>|</code></tt>' is reserved
|
||||||
|
for possible future extensions.<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

Programming languages should be designed not by piling feature on top of
|
||||||
|
feature, but by removing the weaknesses and restrictions that make additional
|
||||||
|
features appear necessary. Scheme demonstrates that a very small number
|
||||||
|
of rules for forming expressions, with no restrictions on how they are
|
||||||
|
composed, suffice to form a practical and efficient programming language
|
||||||
|
that is flexible enough to support most of the major programming
|
||||||
|
paradigms in use today.<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Scheme
|
||||||
|
was one of the first programming languages to incorporate first class
|
||||||
|
procedures as in the lambda calculus, thereby proving the usefulness of
|
||||||
|
static scope rules and block structure in a dynamically typed language.
|
||||||
|
Scheme was the first major dialect of Lisp to distinguish procedures
|
||||||
|
from lambda expressions and symbols, to use a single lexical
|
||||||
|
environment for all variables, and to evaluate the operator position
|
||||||
|
of a procedure call in the same way as an operand position. By relying
|
||||||
|
entirely on procedure calls to express iteration, Scheme emphasized the
|
||||||
|
fact that tail-recursive procedure calls are essentially goto's that
|
||||||
|
pass arguments. Scheme was the first widely used programming language to
|
||||||
|
embrace first class escape procedures, from which all previously known
|
||||||
|
sequential control structures can be synthesized. A subsequent
|
||||||
|
version of Scheme introduced the concept of exact and inexact numbers,
|
||||||
|
an extension of Common Lisp's generic arithmetic.
|
||||||
|
More recently, Scheme became the first programming language to support
|
||||||
|
hygienic macros, which permit the syntax of a block-structured language
|
||||||
|
to be extended in a consistent and reliable manner.

<h3><a href="r5rs-Z-H-2.html#%_toc_%_sec_Temp_4">Background</a></h3><p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The first description of Scheme was written in
|
||||||
|
1975 [<a href="r5rs-Z-H-14.html#%_sec_7.3">28</a>]. A revised report [<a href="r5rs-Z-H-14.html#%_sec_7.3">25</a>]
|
||||||
|
appeared in 1978, which described the evolution
|
||||||
|
of the language as its MIT implementation was upgraded to support an
|
||||||
|
innovative compiler [<a href="r5rs-Z-H-14.html#%_sec_7.3">26</a>]. Three distinct projects began in
|
||||||
|
1981 and 1982 to use variants of Scheme for courses at MIT, Yale, and
|
||||||
|
Indiana University [<a href="r5rs-Z-H-14.html#%_sec_7.3">21</a>, <a href="r5rs-Z-H-14.html#%_sec_7.3">17</a>, <a href="r5rs-Z-H-14.html#%_sec_7.3">10</a>]. An introductory
|
||||||
|
computer science textbook using Scheme was published in
|
||||||
|
1984 [<a href="r5rs-Z-H-14.html#%_sec_7.3">1</a>].<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As Scheme became more widespread,
|
||||||
|
local dialects began to diverge until students and researchers
|
||||||
|
occasionally found it difficult to understand code written at other
|
||||||
|
sites.
|
||||||
|
Fifteen representatives of the major implementations of Scheme therefore
|
||||||
|
met in October 1984 to work toward a better and more widely accepted
|
||||||
|
standard for Scheme.
|
||||||
|
Their report [<a href="r5rs-Z-H-14.html#%_sec_7.3">4</a>]
|
||||||
|
was published at MIT and Indiana University in the summer of 1985.
|
||||||
|
Further revision took place in the spring of 1986 [<a href="r5rs-Z-H-14.html#%_sec_7.3">23</a>],
|
||||||
|
and in the spring of 1988 [<a href="r5rs-Z-H-14.html#%_sec_7.3">6</a>].
|
||||||
|
The present report reflects further revisions agreed upon in a meeting
|
||||||
|
at Xerox PARC in June 1992.<p>

We intend this report to belong to the entire Scheme community, and so
|
||||||
|
we grant permission to copy it in whole or in part without fee. In
|
||||||
|
particular, we encourage implementors of Scheme to use this report as
|
||||||
|
a starting point for manuals and other documentation, modifying it as
|
||||||
|
necessary.<p>
