- Well, I just bought the book "The SCHEME Programming Language",
- thinking it was the reference manual. It turns out to be a textbook
- written by somebody at Indiana University for their own dialect of
- Scheme. Not in the same league with SICP. Phrases such as
- "high paradigmicity" appear. I pity the students at Indiana who
- have to use this thing.
-
- Maybe I can take the book back and get a refund.
