Chez Scheme history

[Josh Rubin]

I am just starting to learn Racket. Thank you, all Racket developers.
I read about the concept of using the Chez Scheme runtime system to
"host" Racket, so I looked into Chez, and found an interesting paper.

The Development of Chez Scheme by R. Kent Dybvig
https://www.cs.indiana.edu/%7Edyb/pubs/hocs.pdf

I like its discussion of Scheme implementation issues. I also enjoyed
reading about the author's evolution as a designer.

Hi Josh, do as done myself: learn both, Chez Scheme and Racket, you will not regret it.

For Chez Scheme there is the book of Dybvig online, along with other documentation, and for racket I suggest you "Realm of Racket".

One thing want to tell you: with chez scheme I calculate with recursion 1,000,000! (one million factorial).

Try this with chez scheme:

(define fact

  (lambda (n)

    (cond ((= n 0) 1)

              (else (* n (fact (- n 1)))))))

Then give 1000000.

Racket will do too, but chez scheme is more fast.

A nice day for you

Francesco
