:There is some ambiguity about this. At which point does something become a separate language vs an implementation of the same language? Can the makers of an implementation simply decide that it is a new language? From what I hear, there are some incompatibilities between Racket and Scheme. Wikipedia currently calls Racket a programming language: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racket_(programming_language) which it does not do for other implementations of Scheme. Many questions on StackOverflow simply say "Racket" without mentioning "Scheme". --[[Special:Contributions/76.21.41.59|76.21.41.59]] 09:44, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
::Scheme is defined [http://www.scheme-reports.org/ here] in form of reports. the latest of which is [http://www.r6rs.org/ R6RS]. Racket [http://docs.racket-lang.org/r6rs/ implements R6RS].
::as for your question i think for rosettacode the answer may be different than for other places. i think it is beneficial to have all scheme dialects in one place for easier comparison.--[[User:EMBee|eMBee]] 10:15, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
