The R7RS-Large Roadmap (Invited Talk)

on YouTube ↗31m

" summary

Roadmap specifies a three-volume split: Foundations, Batteries, Environments with Foundations split into seven fascicles; immediate deliverables include a macro system that combines R6RS syntax-case with a minimal unwrapped-syntax/quote-syntax API, syntax parameters and identifier properties for hygienic anaphora and extensible pattern matching, mixing definitions and expressions plus define-alias and anonymous recursive expressions, raw string literals and string-notated byte vectors, required full numeric tower with typed number vectors and bitwise ops, planned limited continuations and records, and an open problem reconciling R6RS vs R7RS expansion order.
