3 Wrapping Up
You may be asking yourself “Matt, is that it?”
For this minilab, the answer is “yes.” It is supposed to take you 30 minutes to do, if you only do one of these exercises. On the other hand, the answer is “no.” Scheme is a language, and therefore, can do most anything you might imagine doing. There are libraries and tools aplenty. I’m fond of it because the core language is small, but macros and other powerful tools let me express complex ideas simply. That, and a good compiler allows me to take those programs and then compile and distribute them on every major operating system.
If you want to see what kinds of libraries people have written for PLT Scheme, take a look at
Your mileage with Scheme may vary. This minilab represents the last of our official explorations of the Scheme programming language. And, as minilabs go, this is just intended to let you see some of the other tools that the PLT Scheme implementation provides to you as a programmer.
3.1 About this document
This document was written in Scribble, a documentation system written in and for PLT Scheme. Think of it as a Schemey wrapper around LaTeX, and you’re on the right path.
This document was generally written late at night and/or very early in the morning. In-between, there were several diapers and some walking in circles around the house.
