R7RS

What do you think so far? It's way smaller than R6RS.

R⁴RS was where things needed to take a break. It was a very good standard. The community today is pointlessly fractured. They were already fractured in the sense that the base language described by the standard was insufficient in everyone's eyes, so each distribution sort of did its own thing. But that's always going to be true. The alternative is plain to see: java or C++, which are garbage by comparison. Keeping a small base language like scheme attempted to ensures the survival of the language in the face of fads. Scheme is like C in this regard, simply unkillable.

I am not sure what benefit the R⁷RS split is going to bring. But I hope for the best for one of my favorite languages.
