MIT Scheme 7.7.90.+
From the MIT
Scheme web page:
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.
MIT/GNU Scheme is a complete programming environment that runs on many
unix platforms, as well as Microsoft Windows and IBM OS/2. It features a
rich runtime library, a powerful source-level debugger, a native-code
compiler, and an integrated Emacs-like editor.
To reproduce my results on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon, install MIT Scheme
with
sudo apt-get install mit-scheme
and run the interpreter with
mit-scheme
MIT Scheme makes the following choices:
- Allows the null combination, (), which returns the empty list.
(more)
- Evaluates unquoted vectors to themselves. (more)
- Allows the 'sqrt' procedure to return exact results when able.
(more)
- Allows the '/' procedure to return exact zero when the dividend is
an exact zero, even if some divisors are inexact. (more)
- Supports arbitrary precision literal integers. (more)
- Supports arbitrary precision computed integers. (more)
- Supports the literal syntax for rational numbers (e.g. 1/2 is the
literal number one half). (more)
- Supports the literal syntax for complex numbers (e.g. 1+i is the
complex number with real and imaginary parts both 1). (more)
- Supports nontrivial exact rational numbers (e.g. (/ 1 3) produces
an exact one third, not a floating point approximation). (more)
- Supports nontrivial exact complex numbers. (more)
- Guesses the denominators of inexact numbers per R5RS. (more)
- Propagates division by zero errors from 'string->number'
(more)
- Does not define the procedure 'scheme-report-environment'. (more)
- Does not define the procedure 'null-environment'. (more)
- Does not define the procedure 'interaction-environment'. (more)
