In this talk, Veit will present "Scheme: An Interpreter for Extended Lambda Calculus."

In the latter half of the 1970s, Gerald J. Sussman and Guy L. Steele published a series of ground-breaking papers on their new dialect and implementation of Lisp, Scheme. All of them are worth examining, and in this talk we will look at the first paper in the series: “Scheme: An Interpreter for Extended Lambda Calculus”. We’ll look at some of the design choices and rationale, the historical context of the decisions, and try to understand some of the more interesting code snippets in the paper.
