Or did I misunderstand Him? (And this was why > He said that Scheme was in reality more related to Algol than to CL?) everything you need to implement dynamic scope if you want it, and Algol doesn't. One of the reasons why teachers like Scheme so much is that, by implementing dynamic scope, they can show students the difference between dynamic and lexical scope. When you just demonstrate the difference in a language where it's pre-built, some students won't "get it" because they don't see how it works. Bear You must Sign in before you can post messages.
