  • Scheme vs Haskell for an Introduction to Functional Programming?

    - by haziz
    I am comfortable with programming in C and C#, and will explore C++ in the future. I may be interested in exploring functional programming as a different programming paradigm. I am doing this for fun, my job does not involve computer programming, and am somewhat inspired by the use of functional programming, taught fairly early, in computer science courses in college. Lambda calculus is certainly beyond my mathematical abilities, but I think I can handle functional programming. Which of Haskell or Scheme would serve as a good intro to functional programming? I use emacs as my text editor and would like to be able to configure it more easily in the future which would entail learning Emacs Lisp. My understanding, however, is that Emacs Lisp is fairly different from Scheme and is also more procedural as opposed to functional. I would likely be using "The Little Schemer" book, which I have already bought, if I pursue Scheme (seems to me a little weird from my limited leafing through it). Or would use the "Learn You a Haskell for Great Good" if I pursue Haskell. I would also watch the Intro to Haskell videos by Dr Erik Meijer on Channel 9. Any suggestions, feedback or input appreciated. Thanks. P.S. BTW I also have access to F# since I have Visual Studio 2010 which I use for C# development, but I don't think that should be my main criteria for selecting a language.

  • Creating custom URI scheme using URI class

    - by Sorantis
    I need to create a custom URI scheme for my project. i.e urn:myprotocol:{p1}:{p2}:{p3}:{p4} - opaque representation myprotocol://{p1}/{p2}/{p3}/{p4} - hierarchical representation. How can I add my scheme to Java URI class? Or, how can I make Java URI to understand my scheme, so I could use it in my code? Concrete examples are welcome. Thanks.

  • How to compile scheme into native binary files ?

    - by Joe
    I am very new to scheme. And now I am trying to compile some scheme code into binary file which will be loaded faster into interpreter. (The interpreter is a hybrid interpreter)Some one told me that I can compile the code into native binary file and then load it into interperter. And my question is: 1. What is the native binary file? 2. How can I compile the scheme code into a native binary file? 3. How can I load native bianry file into scheme interpreter? Thanks in advance. Joe Suggested that I want to compile below code into native binary file: (define test (lambda() (display "this is a test")) And then load the bianry file into interpreter and call the function "test".

  • What software has been written in Scheme?

    - by skiphoppy
    I loved Scheme in the programming languages concepts class I took several years ago. Ever since reading what Paul Graham has to say about Lisp, I've been intending to go back and pick Scheme up again and see if it'll improve my programming in general. Are there any well-known works of software written in Scheme? Open source packages? Websites?

  • How do I learn Scheme?

    - by Gautam
    Hey, I'm a relative newbie to programming. I've picked up some very basic Java (File I/O, GUIs, inheritance) and would like to take a look at functional programming - in particular, I would like to learn Scheme. I'm having some trouble finding a Scheme implementation I can understand. Interpreters are weird; I'm not sure how to save my programs and create executables. I've downloaded PLT Scheme, but I would prefer using something less condescending, something similar to NetBeans. Is there a plugin or tool that will allow me to quickly and easily create and manage Scheme programs? All help is appreciated!

  • If Scheme is untyped, how can it have numbers and lists?

    - by Dokkat
    Scheme is said to be just an extension of the Untyped Lambda Calculus (correct me if I am wrong). If that is the case, how can it have Lists and Numbers? Those, to me, look like 2 base types. So I'd say Racket is actually an extension of the Simply Typed Lambda Calculus. No? Question: Is Scheme's type system actually based or more similar to Simply Typed or Untyped Lambda Calculus? In what ways does it differ from Untyped and or Simply Typed Lambda Calculus? (The same question is valid for "untyped" languages such as Python and JavaScript - all of which look like they have base types to me.)

  • scheme basic loop

    - by utku
    I'm trying to write a scheme func that behaves in a way similar to a loop. (loop min max func) This loop should perform the func between the range min and max (integers) -- one of an example like this (loop 3 6 (lambda (x) (display (* x x)) (newline))) 9 16 25 36 and I define the function as ( define ( loop min max fn) (cond ((>= max min) ( ( fn min ) ( loop (+ min 1 ) max fn) ) ) ) ) when I run the code I get the result then an error occur. I couldn't handle this error. (loop 3 6 (lambda (x) (display(* x x))(newline))) 9 16 25 36 Backtrace: In standard input: 41: 0* [loop 3 6 #] In utku1.scheme: 9: 1 (cond ((= max min) ((fn min) (loop # max fn)))) 10: 2 [# ... 10: 3* [loop 4 6 #] 9: 4 (cond ((= max min) ((fn min) (loop # max fn)))) 10: 5 [# ... 10: 6* [loop 5 6 #] 9: 7 (cond ((= max min) ((fn min) (loop # max fn)))) 10: 8 [# ... 10: 9* [loop 6 6 #] 9: 10 (cond ((= max min) ((fn min) (loop # max fn)))) 10: 11 [# #] utku1.scheme:10:31: In expression ((fn min) (loop # max ...)): utku1.scheme:10:31: Wrong type to apply: #<unspecified> ABORT: (misc-error)

  • Why isn't there a good scheme/lisp on llvm?

    - by anon
    There is Gambit scheme, MIT scheme, PLT scheme, chicken scheme, bigloo, larceny, ...; then there are all the lisps. Yet, there's not (to my knowledge) a single popular scheme/lisp on LLVM, even though LLVM provides lots of nice things like: easier to generate code than x85 easy to make C ffi calls ... So why is it that there isn't a good scheme/lisp on LLVM?

  • Is Reading the Spec Enough?

    - by jozefg
    This question is centered around Scheme but really could be applied to any LISP or programming language in general. Background So I recently picked up Scheme again having toyed with it once or twice before. In order to solidify my understanding of the language, I found the Revised^5 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme and have been reading through that along with my compiler/interpreter's (Chicken Scheme) listed extensions/implementations. Additionally, in order to see this applied I have been actively seeking out Scheme code in open source projects and such and tried to read and understand it. This has been sufficient so far for me understanding the syntax of Scheme and I've completed almost all of the Ninety-nine Scheme problems (see here) as well as a decent number of Project Euler problems. Question While so far this hasn't been an issue and my solutions closely match those provided, am I missing out on a great part of Scheme? Or to phrase my question more generally, does reading the specification of a language along with well written code in that language sufficient to learn from? Or are other resources, books, lectures, videos, blogs, etc necessary for the learning process as well.

  • Adding an element to a list in Scheme

    - by user272483
    I'm using R5RS Scheme and I just want to implement a function that returns the intersection of two given lists, but I can't do that because I cannot add an element to a list. Here is my code. How can I fix it? I'm really a beginner in Scheme - this is my first work using Scheme. thx in advance.. (define list3 '()) (define (E7 list1 list2) (cond ((null? list1) list3) ((member (car list1) list2) (append list3 (list (car list1)))) ) (cond ((null? list1) list3) ((not(null? list1)) (E7 (cdr list1) list2) ) ) ) (E7 '(4 5) '(3 4))

  • Inheritance classes in Scheme

    - by DreamWalker
    Now I research OOP-part of Scheme. I can define class in Scheme like this: (define (create-queue) (let ((mpty #t) (the-list '())) (define (enque value) (set! the-list (append the-list (list value))) (set! mpty #f) the-list) (define (deque) (set! the-list (cdr the-list)) (if (= (length the-list) 0) (set! mpty #t)) the-list) (define (isEmpty) mpty) (define (ptl) the-list) (define (dispatch method) (cond ((eq? method 'enque) enque) ((eq? method 'deque) deque) ((eq? method 'isEmpty) isEmpty) ((eq? method 'print) ptl))) dispatch)) (Example from css.freetonik.com) Can I implement class inheritance in Scheme?

  • Suggest resources for learning Scheme.

    - by EmFi
    I'll be starting a new job soon where Scheme is heavily used. I currently do not know Scheme, but my employer assures me that is not a problem. Regardless I'd like to hit the ground running and have a working knowledge of the language before my start date. So I'm looking for good resources from which to learn Scheme. I have had minimal exposure to functional languages. Really only a small chunk of a course devoted to Haskell. But I have a strong background in procedural and OO and procedural languages. Before it gets requested by a commenter, I am competent with the following languages: C, C++, C#, Java, Perl, Python, and Ruby.

  • Are there people using scheme out there?

    - by Nick
    Hey, I have just started to study computer sciences at the university where they teach us programming in scheme. Since i have learned c++ for the last 6 years, scheme appears a little odd to me. But they tell me you can write any program you can write in C or Java with it. Is anybody really using this language?

  • Web development: Haskell or Scheme

    - by Robert E. Lester
    I would like to to choose one of these languages for building web applications. I'm not interested in framework per say, but have the following needs: Rapid development. Easy to scale. Strong community for the web. Quick and easy to deploy. I'm very familiar with Haskell, and have some familiarity with scheme (in particular PLT). Scheme appeals to me as good candidate for web development due to it's simple syntax which is homogenous across libraries. I state this despite my subjective opinion that Haskell is a 'cleaner' language. Haskell web apps seem to require learning and building a patchwork of different combinator libraries. On the plus side, I realise this can be quite expressive, although I'd prefer to eliminate impedance mismatches where possible. While scheme-plt looks to be a good fit, I can find but one example of it being used in the "real world". Haskell doesn't seem to fair too much better here, but there seems to be a bigger community behind the web side. Please help me make up my mind. For the most part I'm interested in real-world use cases.

  • Scheme homework help

    - by John
    Okay so I have started a new language in class. We are learning Scheme and i'm not sure on how to do it. When I say learning a new language, I mean thrown a homework and told to figure it out. A couple of them have got me stumped. My first problem is: Write a Scheme function that returns true (the Boolean constant #t) ifthe parameter is a list containing n a's followed by n b's. and false otherwise. Here's what I have right now: (define aequalb (lamda (list) (let ((head (car list)) (tail(cdr list))) (if(= 'a head) ((let ((count (count + 1))) (let (( newTail (aequalb tail)))) #f (if(= 'b head) ((let ((count (count - 1))) (let (( newTail (aequalb tail)))) #f (if(null? tail) (if(= count 0) #t #f))))))))))) I know this is completely wrong, but I've been trying so please take it easy on me. Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Scheme: Detecting duplicate elements in a list

    - by Kyle Krull
    Does R6RS or Chez Scheme v7.9.4 have a library function to check if a list contains duplicate elements? Alternatively, do either have any built in functionality for sets (which dis-allow duplicate elements)? So far, I've only been able to find an example here. The problem with that is that it doesn't appear to actually be part of the Chez Scheme library. Although I could write my own version of this, I'd much rather use a well known, tested, and maintained library function - especially given how basic an operation this is. So a simple "use these built-in functions" or a "no built-in library implements this" will suffice. Thanks!

  • Scheme implementations - what does it mean?

    - by JDelage
    Hi, I'm a beginning student in CS, and my classes are mostly in Java. I'm currently going through "Little Schemer" as a self study, and in the process of finding out how to do that I have found numerous references to "implementations" of Scheme. My question is, what are implementations? Are they sub-dialects of Scheme, or is that something else (DrScheme seem to allow for different "flavors" of the language)? Is it just the name given to any given ecosystem incorporating an IDE, interpreter, interactive tool and the like? Do all other languages (e.g., Java) also have a variety of "implementations", or is it something reserved to "open" languages? Thank you, Joss Delage

  • Traversing Scheme function as a list

    - by csl
    Isn't it possible to treat functions in Scheme as any other list? Basically, what I want do to is something like this: (define (foo) "hello") (cdr foo) ; or similar, should return the list ((foo) "hello") I've found a similar discussion about this, and I feel a bit disappointed if this is not possible with Scheme. If so, why is this impossible? Is it possible in other lisps? EDIT: Changed (cdr 'foo) to (cdr foo) -- it was misleading. I'm asking, why can't I access a function as a list?

  • Setting the colour scheme for a Silverlight app from an external resource

    - by Alex Angas
    I have a Silverlight 3 application containing six custom user controls. I'd like to load the colour scheme for these controls from an external resource. The code and XAML containing a default colour scheme would be built in the XAP. Then a parameter on the object tag would contain a URL from where alternate colours can be dynamically loaded. By the way, the Silverlight 3 application theme feature could be used if that's possible but is really overkill. Only colours need to be changed. Is this possible and how would you recommend to do it?
