TinyScheme File I/O
Sunday, October 21, 2018
Preface Scheme is a Lisp dialect created in 1975 by MIT’s Gerald J. Sussman and Guy L. Steele Jr. It is one of the two major modern Lisp dialects; the other is Common Lisp. Despite its long history, Scheme remains active and has implementations for many platforms and environments, such as Racket, Guile, MIT Scheme, and Chez Scheme. TinyScheme is a lightweight embeddable Scheme interpreter that follows the R5RS (Revised^5 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme) specification. This specification was released in 1998 and is now widely used. Although TinyScheme lacks extensive official documentation, its adherence to the R5RS standard enables developers to consult documentation from mainstream Scheme implementations, such as Racket, for guidance.
