I think the conversation (up to the point you quoted) went something like this: Will Clinger: The R5RS semantics lead to bad code and performance hacks. The R6RS semantics are more efficient in the general case. (Thus R7RS should specify the R6RS semantics.) John Cowan: Performance hacks are important on slower implementations. (Thus R7RS should specify the R5RS semantics.) Aaron W. Hsu: If you want speed, use a fast implementation! (Thus R7RS should specify the R6RS semantics.) Hope that clarifies, Marijn -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk/75+YACgkQp/VmCx0OL2yzqACeJLOE/2v7KESnIRUKoZIXJtKH stkAnjYlr6dqfKx6aH/AkAUrWu7NtBfD =pFBW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ r6rs-discuss mailing list r6rs-discuss@lists.r6rs.org http://lists.r6rs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/r6rs-discuss
