Scheme Workshop 2026 R7RS-Large Update Presentation

[Peter McGoron]

Hello,

I was invited by the organizers of the 2026 Scheme Workshop
(Indianaoplis, Indiana) to give a presentation on R7RS-Large progress. I
am thinking of giving a talk about the roadmap (the fascicle and volume
organization) and the planned (but not yet voted on) major features:

* Syntax parameters
* Procedural macros (unwrap-syntax, etc.)
* Number vectors and arrays
* Delimited continuations
* Ephemerons and guardians
* Tagged procedures or applicable record types

(Suitable caveats will be given that things that have not been formally
voted on may be dropped from the final standard.)

What does everyone think?

Dear Peter,

I hope this year finds you well!

I am an assistant professor at Tufts, and I am organizing the Scheme
Workshop this year with Steve (cc’d here). We would like to invite you
to give a talk on the recent status of R7RS, for example, the new
fascicle. This year, the Scheme Workshop will be co-located with ICFP
(https://icfp26.sigplan.org/) in Indianapolis on August 29.

As a bit of context, Daphne Preston-Kendal gave a talk at last year’s
Scheme Workshop
(https://conf.researchr.org/details/icfp-splash-2025/scheme-2025-papers/11/Scheme-Reports-at-Fifty-Where-do-we-go-from-here-),
and we thought it would be wonderful to continue highlighting the
ongoing developments around R7RS this year.

Please let us know by June 12 if you would be interested in giving a
talk. Please let us know if you have any questions about the format,
topics, or anything or about the workshop. If you feel that someone else
would be in a better position to speak on this topic, we would greatly
appreciate it if you could point us to the right person.

Best wishes,
Guannan and Steve

[John Cowan]

Go for it.
