Hello,

Today I was testing out SRFI 19 and wrote a simple version of the UNIX cal(1) command.

Here's a version in R6RS Scheme which runs in Ikarus and Ypsilon. A few example runs.

Schemers: How would you write it? Use your favorite implementation.

Ruby and Python: I'm guessing that y'all have elegant date and time libraries. I'm sure you can put the Schemers to shame. ;-) Let's see what ya got.

I'd also like to see Haskell and golfed versions.

Is there a Stack Overflow tag for re-implementations of UNIX commands? :-)

Ed

I had a pretty simple requirement in my Scheme program to execute more than one statement, in the true condition of a 'if'. . So I write my code, something like this: (if (= 1 1) ((expression1) (expression2)) ; these 2 expressions are to be executed when the condition is true (expression3)… >>> More

Scheme: Detecting duplicate elements in a list

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
Does R6RS or Chez Scheme v7.9.4 have a library function to check if a list contains duplicate elements? Alternatively, do either have any built in functionality for sets (which dis-allow duplicate elements)? So far, I've only been able to find an example here. The problem with that is that it doesn't… >>> More

Isn't it possible to treat functions in Scheme as any other list?

Hi, I'm a beginning student in CS, and my classes are mostly in Java.

My question is, what are implementations? Are they… >>> More
