* Scheme ( programming language )

The Lisp dialect used in Emacs differs substantially from the more modern Common Lisp and Scheme dialects commonly used for applications programming.

However, prominent functional programming languages such as Common Lisp, Scheme, ISLISP, Clojure, Racket, Erlang, OCaml, Haskell, Scala and F # have been used in industrial and commercial applications by a wide variety of organizations.

Also in the 1970s, the development of Scheme ( a partly functional dialect of Lisp ), as described in the influential Lambda Papers and the 1985 textbook Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, brought awareness of the power of functional programming to the wider programming-languages community.

* Lazy programming and lazy evaluation in Scheme

Mutual recursion is very common in the functional programming style, and is often used for programs written in LISP, Scheme, ML, and similar languages.

Scheme is a functional programming language and one of the two main dialects of the programming language Lisp.

In August 2009, the Scheme Steering Committee which oversees the standardization process announced its intention to recommend splitting Scheme into two languages: a large modern programming language for programmers, and a subset of the large version retaining the minimalism praised by educators and casual implementors ; two working groups were created to work on these two new versions of Scheme.

Scheme is primarily a functional programming language.

This subsection describes those features of Scheme that have distinguished it from other programming languages from its earliest days.

These are the aspects of Scheme that most strongly influence any product of the Scheme language, and they are the aspects that all versions of the Scheme programming language, from 1973 onward, share.

Like most modern programming languages and unlike earlier Lisps such as Maclisp or Emacs Lisp, Scheme is lexically scoped: all possible variable bindings in a program unit can be analyzed by reading the text of the program unit without consideration of the contexts in which it may be called.

simple: Scheme ( programming language )

Later programming languages, such as ML and Scheme, extended the term to refer to syntax within a language which could be defined in terms of a language core of essential constructs ; the convenient, higher-level features could be " desugared " and decomposed into that subset.

is also a special form in the Scheme programming language.

# REDIRECT Scheme ( programming language )

The Scheme language standard requires implementations to recognize and optimize tail recursion.

For example, Scheme has both continuations and hygienic macros, which enables a programmer to design their own control abstractions, such as looping and early exit constructs, without the need to build them into the language.

Conversely, Scheme contains multiple coherent subsets that suffice to construct the rest of the language as library macros, and so the language designers do not even bother to say which portions of the language must be implemented as language constructs, and which must be implemented as parts of a library.

While syntax is commonly specified using a formal grammar, semantic definitions may be written in natural language ( e. g., as in the C language ), or a formal semantics ( e. g., as in Standard ML and Scheme specifications ).

Unlike Common Lisp, the other main dialect, Scheme follows a minimalist design philosophy specifying a small standard core with powerful tools for language extension.

The Scheme language is standardized in the official IEEE standard, and a de facto standard called the Revised < sup > n </ sup > Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme ( RnRS ).

A new language standardization process began at the 2003 Scheme workshop, with the goal of producing an R6RS standard in 2006.

This section concentrates mainly on innovative features of the language, including those features that distinguish Scheme from other Lisps.

Prior to 31 December 2010, deposits with building societies of up to £ 50, 000 per individual, per institution, were normally protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme ( FSCS ), but Nationwide and Yorkshire Building Societies negotiated a temporary change to the terms of the FSCS to protect members of the societies they acquired in late 2008 / early 2009.

Allowing for demolitions, 1. 3 million new homes were built between 1965 and 1970, To encourage home ownership, the government introduced the Option Mortgage Scheme ( 1968 ), which made low-income housebuyers eligible for subsidies ( equivalent to tax relief on mortgage interest payments ).

These include Common Lisp ( ANSI standard document ANSI INCITS 226-1994 ( R2004 )), Scheme ( R5RS and R6RS ), and ISLISP.

It too was a unification of earlier work, such as the two UK approaches ( the CESG UK Evaluation Scheme aimed at the defence / intelligence market and the DTI Green Book aimed at commercial use ), and was adopted by some other countries, e. g. Australia.

There are 34 shipwrecks, some dating to the 1880s, in the Traffic Separation Scheme ( TSS ), the channel for commercial ships.

Early satirical works included an Emblematical Print on the South Sea Scheme ( c. 1721 ), about the disastrous stock market crash of 1720 known as the South Sea Bubble, in which many English people lost a great deal of money.

Some languages make it possible portably ( e. g. Scheme, Common Lisp or Perl ), some need special extensions ( e. g. C ++, see ).

Examples include Kawerau in the Bay of Plenty ( a mill town ), Twizel in North Otago, Mangakino in the Waikato ( both for hydroelectricity ), and Turangi near Taupo ( for the Tongariro Power Scheme ).

The British Commonwealth Air Training Plan ( BCATP ; " The Plan "), known in some countries as the Empire Air Training Scheme ( EATS ), was a massive, joint military aircrew training program created by the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, during the Second World War.

Prior to the inception of the Empire Air Training Scheme ( as it was commonly known in Australia ), the RAAF trained only about 50 pilots per year.

The college was saved from bankruptcy by the ' Dulwich College Experiment ' or ' Gilkes Experiment ', the work of A H Gilkes's son Christopher Gilkes ( Master from 1941 – 1953 ), the forerunner of the state ' Assisted Places Scheme ', by which the majority of boys selected to attend the college had their fees paid by local councils.
