@section Guile's Implementation of Scheme
|
|
|
|
Guile's core language is Scheme, which is specified and described in the
|
|
series of reports known as @dfn{RnRS}. @dfn{RnRS} is shorthand for the
|
|
@iftex
|
|
@dfn{Revised@math{^n} Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme}.
|
|
@end iftex
|
|
@ifnottex
|
|
@dfn{Revised^n Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme}.
|
|
@end ifnottex
|
|
Guile complies fully with R5RS (@pxref{Top,
|
|
,Introduction,r5rs,R5RS}), and implements some aspects of R6RS.
|
|
|
|
Guile also has many extensions that go beyond these reports. Some of
|
|
the areas where Guile extends R5RS are:
