Real World Scheme

by Anders Conbere

Aug 29, 2009

I love scheme and have used it for many projects on the more educational side of things, but I've never really found any materials discussing it's use in more "real world" scenarios. Does anyone know of any resources for using scheme in say... web programming, or in graphics rendering outside of Mr. Ed?

    wow, using Clojure all day long at work....are you based here in Hawaii? run your own consulting firm or something? I'm very curious

    Thanks for the input.

    I have used the LFE scheme syntax to program Erlang. :)

    I have used scsh, gambit, guile & plt on emacs for fun but not "real world". I wish there was a Slime/Swank environment for Scheme. There is Quack and Geiser for Emacs. I haven't gotten either one working yet. PLT has a popular following and you might find more there. I can't stand Mr. Ed (when I am used to Emacs). http://blog.plt-scheme.org/2008/10/web-application-development-in-p...

    I use Clojure all day long at work these days on a team and all we do is Emacs/Lisp. I just play with scheme on the side once in a while because I love it's pure no-nonsense lisp roots and simplicity. Scheme (and within that, R5R6 Sheme) is def my pref of the "classic" lisps.

    I too love scheme and work up early to hack on some gambit termite utility to update all my source projects in parallel :)
