Synopsis:

From the Back Cover

The Scheme programming language is one of the under-appreciated gems of the computer science community. It has a form and beauty that is simplyUnmatched by any other programming language.It's simplicity speaks for itself - this community standards document is only 50 pages long. It is just like Scheme - small, elegant, efficient, and complete.

A programming language shouldn't just be a new syntax to do what you've always done. Goodprogramming languages should change the way youthink about programming.

Scheme packs a lot of punch in just a few functions.Where else can you get a programming language thatcontains macros, continuations, closures, suspensions,and a clean, simple syntax that encapsulates bothprograms and data.

You can get it with Scheme.
