Well, Scheme does have loops too, though not yet standardized, notably SRFI 42 Eager Comprehensions at <http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-42/srfi-42.html>, Riastradh's version of foof-loop at <http://mumble.net/~campbell/scheme/foof-loop.txt>, and Alex Shinn's version of foof-loop at <https://chibi-scheme.googlecode.com/hg/lib/chibi/loop/loop.scm>. R7RS-large will have a loop library, probably one of these three. Alex also has a great article on various loop macros, with examples, at <http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.scheme/msg/60dcac5ea812398>. -- John Cowan co...@ccil.org http://ccil.org/~cowan If he has seen farther than others, it is because he is standing on a stack of dwarves. --Mike Champion, describing Tim Berners-Lee (adapted) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AlienVault Unified Security Management (USM) platform delivers complete security visibility with the essential security capabilities.
