8.1 Syntax

Because SketchyLISP is purely applicative, some of its syntaxes are a little more strict than their Scheme counterparts. For example,

8.2 Syntax Transformers

SketchyLISP syntax transformers implement ony a subset of R5RS syntax transformers:

Syntax transformers are first class objects in SketchyLISP:

let* => #<syntax let*>

This is not necessarily contradition in terms, but it accounts for the fact that syntax transformers are only recognized in car positions of lists.

8.3 Omissions

The following R5RS functions and other features are not implemented in SketchyLISP.

8.3.1 Concepts

Rational numbers, floating point numbers, complex numbers, vectors, quasi quotation, lazy evaluation, input/output port data types, mutable data, multiple values, numeric base prefixes (#b #d #o #x).

8.3.2 Functions

Quasi quotation: , ,@ / ` quasiquote unquote unquote-splicing

Input/Output: call-with-input-file call-with-output-file close-input-port close-output-port current-input-port current-output-port char-ready? input-port? open-input-file open-output-file output-port? peek-char port?

Numeric: acos angle asin atan ceiling complex? cos denominator exact->inexact exact? exp floor imag-part inexact->exact inexact? log magnitude make-polar make-rectangular numerator rational? rationalize real-part real? round sin tan truncate

Vectors: list->vector make-vector vector vector->list vector-fill! vector-length vector-ref vector-set! vector?

Other: call-with-values case delay do dynamic-wind eval for-each force let-syntax letrec-syntax make-string set! set-car! set-cdr! setcar string-copy string-fill! string-set! transcript-off transcript-on values
