Scheme 48 is an implementation of the Scheme programming language as described in the Revised^4 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme. It is based on a compiler and interpreter for a virtual Scheme machine. The name derives from our desire to have an implementation that is simple and lucid enough that it looks as if it were written in just 48 hours. We don't claim to have reached that stage yet; much more simplification is necessary. Scheme 48 tries to be faithful to the upcoming Revised^5 Scheme Report, providing neither more nor less in the initial user environment. (This is not to say that more isn't available in other environments; see below.) Support for numbers is weak: bignums are slow and floating point is almost nonexistent (see description of floatnums, below). DEFINE-SYNTAX, LET-SYNTAX, LETREC-SYNTAX, and SYNTAX-RULES are supported, but not the rest of the Revised^4 Scheme macro proposal. it'>
