Scheme library collection with yearly stable releases

Fast-moving Scheme library collection with yearly stable releases

Let's agree that serif fonts do not always carry boring stuff. And have a taste of it:

Programming languages should be designed not by piling feature on top of feature, but by removing the weaknesses and restrictions that make additional features appear necessary. — Revised 7 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme, Introduction.

Otherwise said, Scheme offers a minimalist core of powerful primitives upon which one can build abstractions to solve (real world) problems.

• Be a complement to SRFI, R7RS, and work together following the goals set by the steering commitee, and R7RS-large working group charter;

• Release yearly stable versions: next, and first stable release planned in 2023;

• Aim for portability across Scheme standards, Scheme implementations, and operating systems;

• Libraries are collectively owned;

• Resolve debates by talking;

• Libraries inside unstable are always subject to change;
