Scheme Weekly News for 20040105
URL: http://mjr.towers.org.uk/swn/
This is a round-up of news and announcements related to the
Scheme programming language, mostly taken from newsgroups,
mailing lists and web sites that I'm aware of. Feel free to
send me more. The aim is to publish in multiple formats on the
web each week, but more on that very soon. (Date: 20040105)
(Compiled by: MJ Ray)
Introduction
Well, it has been quite some time since the last SWN and I feel
I should explain myself. The "weekly" in the name is a statement
of intent, but sometimes my work (for the new firm) gets in the
way and some weeks there just isn't enough news. I've altered the
publication day for 2004 to Monday, so this should get out more
often now. Thanks for keeping reading and happy new year. Please
send news to comp.lang.scheme or by email to me.
