Hello, I have recently learned about set-car! and set-cdr! which eventually led me to learn about how Racket removed them years ago for the reasons given in this post:
http://blog.racket-lang.org/2007/11/getting-rid-of-set-car-and-set-cdr.html On the other hand, Chicken certainly has set-car! and set-cdr! and I also see these functions in R7RS. I was wondering if there is a balancing opinion (maybe a post somewhere) on this matter. Presumably these functions exist because someone thought they were a good idea. Cheers, Daniel. -- When an engineer says that something can't be done, it's a code phrase that means it's not fun to do.
