Cell(0 0) in the table would be better like SRFI/Implementation platform #38

Sure! But see #19 -- the appearance of the table needs a lot of work.

Yes, it would be great to have a graphic designed. I've been trying to reach David by mail but haven't been able to.

Graphic designed is needed. But what I mean is that it is a table, it would have a group name of the columns, Is that name "Implementation platform" precise. As we look at the each implementation, sound like they all have their purposes or new strong features. Like "Chibi-Scheme is a very small library intended for use as an extension and scripting language in C programs. In addition to support for lightweight VM-based threads, each VM itself runs in an isolated heap allowing multiple VMs to run simultaneously in different OS thread". So what group name is better for the column in the table?

lassik commented 3 years ago

Scheme implementation would be the precise term. But it's probably clear from their names that they are Scheme implementations?

APIPLM commented 3 years ago

Yes. you are right. It is all about SRFIs implementations More focus on which SRFI itself in which Scheme implementation. I am trying to figure out that SRFIs of the author are closer to which role of person. Program Language Scheme Designer Like R5RS, R6RS ,R7RS or Features Designer Scheme or Implementor of Scheme Features. Seems like it is a combination.

lassik commented 3 years ago

The people listed as "author" either wrote the text of the SRFI document, or wrote the code of the sample implementation, or both. It is usually a combination of both.
