Abstract

About fifty Schemers came a day early for the 1988 ACM Conference on Lisp and Functional Programming, which was held in late July at Snowbird, Utah. They devoted the Sunday before the conference to revising once again the Revised Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme [1], or R3RS for short. Three days later, after the conference, the IEEE/MSC/P1178 Working Group on Scheme met for the first time. A two-day meeting of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22 WG-16 that followed made it a good week for alphabet soup.
