Both Common Lisp and Scheme have operators for non-local control flow. The differences in these operators are some of the deepest differences between the two dialects. Scheme supports re-entrant continuations using the call/cc procedure, which allows a program to save (and later restore) a particular place in execution. Common Lisp does not ...
The two variants of Lisp most significant in the development of Scheme were both developed at MIT: LISP 1.5 [4] developed by McCarthy and others, and Maclisp [5] – developed for MIT's Project MAC, a direct descendant of LISP 1.5. which ran on the PDP-10 and Multics systems.
General purpose, multi-paradigm programming language in the Lisp-Scheme family; one of its design goals is to serve as a platform for language creation, design, and implementation; it is used in many contexts such as scripting, general-purpose programming, computer science education, and research [32] [33] Scheme: 1970: Guy L. Steele, Gerald ...
The Racket language is a modern dialect of Lisp and a descendant of Scheme. It is designed as a platform for programming language design and implementation. [9] In addition to the core Racket language, Racket is also used to refer to the family of programming languages [10] and set of tools supporting development on and with Racket. [11]

Scheme was the first dialect of lisp to use lexical scoping and to require tail-call optimization, features that encourage functional programming. In the 1980s, Per Martin-Löf developed intuitionistic type theory (also called constructive type theory), which associated functional programs with constructive proofs expressed as dependent types .
Scheme programs can easily create and evaluate pieces of Scheme code dynamically. The reliance on lists as data structures is shared by all Lisp dialects. Scheme inherits a rich set of list-processing primitives such as cons, car and cdr from its Lisp progenitors. Scheme uses strictly but dynamically typed variables and supports first class ...
It then continues on to describe the role of Scheme and the importance of an ideal programming environment, and concludes with an extensive evaluation of content and student/faculty reaction to experience with SICP vs. HtDP. One of the major focuses of the paper is the emphasis on the difference in required domain knowledge between SICP and ...
