Scheme was the first dialect of Lisp to choose lexical scope. It was also one of the first programming languages after Reynold's Definitional Language [15] to support first-class continuations. It had a large impact on the effort that led to the development of its sister-language, Common Lisp, to which Guy Steele was a contributor. [16]
Scheme is a dialect of the Lisp family of programming languages.Scheme was created during the 1970s at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (MIT CSAIL) and released by its developers, Guy L. Steele and Gerald Jay Sussman, via a series of memos now known as the Lambda Papers.
T's purpose is to test the thesis developed by Guy L. Steele Jr. and Gerald Jay Sussman in their series of papers about Scheme: that Scheme may be used as the basis for a practical programming language of exceptional expressive power, and that implementations of Scheme could perform better than other Lisp systems, and competitively with implementations of programming languages, such as C and ...

Scheme is a high level functional language with a very simple and expressive syntax. LambdaNative uses Gambit-C Scheme , [ 3 ] a portable standards-compliant Scheme to C compiler. Applications written in the framework can be either event-loop driven graphical applications or console applications , and code can be abstracted in the form of ...
GNU Ubiquitous Intelligent Language for Extensions [3] (GNU Guile) is the preferred extension language system for the GNU Project [4] and features an implementation of the programming language Scheme. Its first version was released in 1993. [1]
The Scheme language standard requires implementations to support proper tail recursion, meaning they must allow an unbounded number of active tail calls. [60] [61] Proper tail recursion is not simply an optimization; it is a language feature that assures users that they can use recursion to express a loop and doing so would be safe-for-space. [62]
Languages are categorized under the ancestor language with the strongest influence. Those ancestor languages are listed in alphabetic order. Any such categorization has a large arbitrary element, since programming languages often incorporate major ideas from multiple sources.
