Why not Scheme?

What's wrong with Scheme?

Name: Anonymous 2008-08-05 4:57

Toyness.

No it's ok

It's got an unhealthy obsession with functional programming.

Name: Anonymous 2008-08-05 6:05

You're thinking of Haskell.

Both are toy-languages.

You can write commandline and GUI programs in Haskell though. More libraries. Less "oh, this program also comes with its own object system? bother!" kind of NIH.

Needs more standard libraries.

Scheme is often pretty slow. The fast implementations out there aren't fast at dynamic code. Infact no one has a good dynamic benchmark anyways :(

PLT Scheme is pretty dynamic and also pretty fast compared to Python, Perl, Ruby, Smalltalk, PHP. Psyco comes close, as does Lua. Faster are LuaJIT, Steel Bank Common Lisp (is it really dynamic/still faster when dynamic?), Scala (thanks to the JVM).

Disclaimer: based on shootout results.

So while dynamic Scheme might not be the fastest, it's certainly not SLOW AS FUCK.

Haskell is a functional programming language. Do you expect it not to be all about functional programming? Scheme is a dialect of Lisp, the multi-paradigm language, yet it's stuck on functional programming for no reason in the world.

scala isn't fast at all.

C is awesome.

Scheme guides you toward FP, but doesn't enforce it, at least not as much as Haskell does.

Name: Anonymous 2008-08-05 23:05

>>15
Precisely. Scheme is FP obsessed and pressures you into doing it, which is pretty anti-Lisp, isn't it? Haskell is a functional programming language, so it's okay for it to be biased.

>>16
Anti-Lisp? I thought being a Lisp just meant that code is data and parenthesis.

Name: Anonymous 2008-08-06 1:36

>>17
Yes. Then Scheme comes along pretending to be a functional language: utter faggotry.

We're well aware of that.

what the fuck are you talking about
"scheme" in not FP biased it's the idiots that are scared to use side effects in scheme code

Yes it is.

Scheme is the true anti-cudders.

Name: Anonymous 2008-08-06 8:30

Scheme is a great way to get comfortable with lisp before moving onto common lisp.

Name: Anonymous 2008-08-06 9:39

Going to Common Lisp from Scheme is like going to PHP from C. It's wrong.

It's quiet today. Are you unable to resolve dis.4chan.org? It's 207.126.64.178. Not that this is much help to you if that's the case.

Just figured it out. I had zip/bin on /etc/hosts, so I just kept trying until I hit dis.

I was reading 4chanarchive's /b/ to find out why 4chan was unavaiable, and wound up finding my way back here through this thread: http://4chanarchive.org/kusaba/b/res/1236714.html. I strongly recommend saving it for future reference.

I had problems resolving dis.4chan.org. I fixed it with a HOSTS entry.
