G.L. Steele & G.J. Sussman, 1975. A LISP dialect, small and uniform, with clean semantics. Scheme is applicative-order and lexically scoped, and treats both functions and continuations as first-class objects. 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 style, find convenient expression in SCHEME. SCHEME has lexical scoping, uniform evaluation rules, and uniform treatment of data types. It does not have the concept of pointers, uninitialized variables, specialized looping constructs, or explicit storage management. In SCHEME all data types are equal. What one can do to one data type, one can do to all data types. There are seven kinds of expressions: constant, variable reference, procedure creation, procedure application, conditional, assignment, and sequence. Numbers are especially interesting in that an integer is a rational and a real is a complex. SCHEME requires no looping constructs. Any function which calls itself in the "Tail" position is just a loop. SCHEME has several important advantages: it's elegantly simple in that regular structure and trivial syntax avoids "special case" confusion. It's expressiveness means that one spends little time trying to work around the language, it concentrates on what they want say rather than on how to say it. It supports a variety of styles (including OO; allows users to better match their solution style to the style of the problems to be solved. Structures: Related languages
