MPSCM: A Distributed Extension to MzScheme
Sunday, August 17, 2008
MPSCM is an extension to the MzScheme dialect of Scheme that provides facil-ities for distributed programming with a message passing base and higher-level distributing constructs designed in a more functional style. This paper provides a description of the MPSCM environment and an analysis of the results in terms of performance, expressivity, and usability.

Sequencing in Scheme
Saturday, August 16, 2008
When I was first learning about Functional Programming and Scheme, the idea that order-of-execution didn’t matter in purely functional programs, was “strange to me”, to put it nicely. When I first read about Scheme’s begin form, for example, I remember feeling satisfied that Scheme wasn’t totally insane as it had at least some way to [...]
