About Scheme
Scheme was created in the 1970s by Guy L. Steele and Gerald Jay Sussman at the MIT AI Lab. It emerged as a minimalist dialect of Lisp, designed to explore programming language design and implementation, with an emphasis on functional programming and lexical scoping.
Scheme's strengths included its simplicity, clean syntax, first-class procedures, and support for functional programming. Its weaknesses involved limited standard libraries and less widespread adoption compared to other languages. Competitors included Common Lisp, Haskell, and Python.
