R6RS ratified
A controversial R6RS has been ratified. I like how open the voting is, so I can read what concerns were voiced. 65.7% voted in favor of the new standard. Yikes, that is a narrow margin. According to the document 60% were required to pass.
Of course as a complete newbie to Scheme, I have no opinion. I would tend to agree with the gist of the ideas that R4RS serves as a better research tool, and that R6RS would make a better production language. It is disconcerting that many of the Nahs stated that the process ignored many of the SRFIs.
