Scheme

Hi

I'm learning scheme and was wondering if there are any active open-source projects I might be able to get involved in?

I'm nearing the end of SICP and although this has good complex examples no textbook code compares to real-world applications. eg testing code / benchmarking / revision control styles / sheer size and scope etc. Hence my curiousity at seeing a project in the wild.

I tried searching google code but only found projects that are interpreters that implement RSR5/6.

Perhaps there are not many projects out there and I should consider scala?!

Advice or even pointers to specific projects appreciated.

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

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

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

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