============================ The Seasoned Schemer ============================ :by: Daniel Friedman and Matthias Felleisen :Edition: First (1st) See also `Scheme `__. This book is a sequel `The Little Schemer`_; The Reasoned Schemer is a paralel exploration of logical programming. .. _The Little Schemer: /k/books/littleschemer/ Issues/Omissions -------------------------- The Y combinator function is never defined in this book, I had to copy it out of `The Little Schemer`_; (define Y (lambda (thing) ((lambda (le) ((lambda (f) (f f)) (lambda (f) (le (lambda (x) ((f f) x)))))) thing))) MIT/GNU Scheme doesn't seem to have ``letcc`` or ``try``; I stuck with ``call-with-current-continuation``: (call-with-current-continuation (lambda (hook) ...) ; is the same as (letcc hook (...)) ; as noted in the book (p. 89) (try x a b) ; is the same as (letcc success (letcc x (success a)) b) ; is the same as (call-with-current-continuation (lambda (success) (begin (call-with-current-continuation (lambda (x) (success a))) b))) The Next 10 Commandments -------------------------- TODO
