R7RS draft vote - opinions please added by arthurmaciel on Mon May 20 20:26:32 2013
Full name: Arthur Maciel Nunes Gonçalves Location: Brazil Affiliation: none Statement of interest: Although from a different background (medicine), I have been studying computer programming since 1999. After wandering through distinct languages and paradigms, I found Scheme in 2008 and since then there is no other language I like most. Its concise syntax, powerful expressiveness and joyful versatility inspire me to code for hobby (in the sense of experiencing a quite pleasant intellectual activity) and lately for my masters (I am developing a web application to facilitate philosophical analysis of psychiatric texts). Vote: yes Rationale: I don't necessarily agree with all the draft's content (for example long versions of #t and #f), but I think it takes into account the opinions of stakeholders that participated in the discussion. I think it satisfies the charter requirements and, while maintaining simplicity as a core value to the language, this draft allows interoperability among Scheme implementations. In my opinion this is the most important aspect the Scheme community could currently benefit from.
