The Scheme Programming Language
Scheme
Scheme is a classic programming language in the Lisp
family . It emphasizes functional
programming and domain-specific
languages but adapts to other styles. Known for its clean and
minimalist design, Scheme is one of the longest-lived and
best-studied dynamic
languages , and has many fast and portable
implementations.
From the Scheme standard reports:
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.
