SRFI

Scheme Request For Implementation

See http://srfi.schemers.org/

The Askemos server supports currently:

• From srfi 1: append-reverse list= cons* filter remove delete partition fold take take-right drop drop-right unzip2 alist-cons
• http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-2/srfi-2.html (and-let*)
• http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-8/srfi-8.html (receive)
• http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-19/srfi-19.html (date and time, modified as 'locale' doesn't have a defined meaning in a global network) See also WhatIsTime regarding different kinds of time.
• http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-13/srfi-13.html (string library, partial support only because of copyright issue)
• 34 exception handling raise, guard(See srfi34).
• srfi49 "python-like" Syntax. (note: This syntax is often regarded to be not the best idea under the sun, but it's handy for short expressions, command lines and large SXML-HTML structures with little nesting).
• 43, the vector library

Note (to be moved somewhere): in http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-40/mail-archive/msg00030.html is a simple and clear implementation of stream alike things, which is very close to the style used in the current (2003) Askemos code. Just the posting is much, much clearer. The only difference is in the conventions. No exception is raised at the end of a stream. Instead #f is returned as first value instead of the closure producing the rest of the stream.
