11 things about Scheme Programming Language

1. Scheme started as an attempt to understand Carl Hewitt's Actor model, for which purpose Steele and Sussman wrote a "tiny Lisp interpreter" using Maclisp and then "added mechanisms for creating actors and sending messages." Scheme was originally called "Schemer", in the tradition of other Lisp-derived languages like Planner or Conniver.

2. Unlike Common Lisp, the other main dialect, Scheme follows a minimalist design philosophy specifying a small standard core with powerful tools for language extension.

3. The Scheme language is standardized in the official IEEE standard, and a de facto standard called the Revisedn Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme (RnRS).

4. Scheme is one of the two main dialects of the programming language Lisp.

5. The classic Scheme programming language for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.

6. The application is especially useful for learning the Scheme programming language.

7. Scheme was the first dialect of Lisp to choose lexical scope and the first to require implementations to perform tail-call optimization.

8. Programming language is a perfect tool for studying, complex mathematical calculation, entertainment and many other useful tasks.

9. The language's diverse appeal is seen as a strong point, though the consequently wide divergence between implementations is seen as one of the language's weak points.

10. Its compactness and elegance have made it popular with educators, language designers, programmers, implementors, and hobbyists.

11. - Online language reference and several program samples.
