The scheme of things: the June 1987 meeting

Abstract

The second occasional meeting of people interested in the continuing evolution of the Scheme programming language took place at the end of June on the MIT campus. This meeting was less satisfying than the remarkably successful first meeting, at Brandeis in the autumn of 1984. At Brandeis we had come prepared to agree on the core language, which is described in the Revised a Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme. At MIT we came prepared to agree on what problems remain to be solved, but we did not bring complete solutions.
