                                          Scheme

   Welcome to [5]Scheme.org, a new home page for Scheme. We host a [6]snapshot of
   the old Schemers.org. Thanks to [7]Prof. Shriram Krishnamurthi and all the other
   people who gave Scheme a home on Schemers.org for nearly twenty-five years.

   Scheme is a classic programming language in the [8]Lisp family. It emphasizes
   [9]functional programming and [10]domain-specific languages but adapts to other
   styles. Known for its clean and minimalist design, Scheme is one of the
   longest-lived and best-studied [11]dynamic languages, and has many fast and
   portable implementations.

   From the Scheme standard reports:

     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. Scheme demonstrates that a very small number of
     rules for forming expressions, with no restrictions on how they are composed,
     suffice to form a practical and efficient programming language that is
     flexible enough to support most of the major programming paradigms in use
     today.
