PLT Scheme ReviewThanks for the update , but ... - Version: 370, 8/4/2007 01:57PM PST

As previously noted, the distribution still creates a folder with the version number, so when moved, e.g., to the ~/Applications subdirectory it still does not overwrite the older version, and thus requires making a new link into the Dock.
Otherwise it is probably the best programming environment, which both my 11-year-old grandson and any experienced Lisp/Scheme programmer can enjoy on any platform.

PLT Scheme CommentaryWhat's new in version 350 - Version: 350, 6/19/2006 06:07AM PST

Highlights from the mailing list archive:
  • Mac OS X installation is drag-and-drop
  • Tools that create executables can produce self-contained packages
  • ProfessorJ now supports a unit testing mechanism and a new wizard for generating class and union declarations
  • The draw library now accommodates multiple worlds, and a new idraw library supports imperative drawing and animation.
  • MzScheme includes a just-in-time compiler on x86, x86_64, and PowerPC platforms
  • MzScheme's default exception handler now shows stack-trace information
  • DrScheme now treats open square-bracket keyboard input specially for less wear and tear on your hands

PLT Scheme CommentarySuggestion to developers - Version: 300, 12/18/2005 11:37AM PST

The product is getting better with each update.
I have one wish/suggestion: the installer should be able to replace the previous
version, rather than install the new version in addition to the old one.
For those of us with smaller disks (< 30 GB) adding an extra 66 MB with each update matters!
In addition, when you remove the old version its icon in the Dock
points to a nonexisting application.

PLT Scheme ReviewGreat implementation of Scheme - Version: 299.100, 3/25/2005 05:15PM PST

As an old "schemer" I enjoy this beautiful implementation, which can be run a various levels (from beginner to ProfessorJ -- a Java-like language).
The interface is nice.
The one thing I am missing is the ability to run it from emacs. (Maybe the Darwin X11 version has this -- did anyone try it?)

used Scheme in my daily work so I could play with this more. If you used EdScheme under Classic this is a great replacement.

excellent package for learning the Scheme language, and for picking up the concepts of programming in general. The package is complete. The Scheme implementation is fast, and appears to have effcient garbage collection. The environment has very nice editing cues, and the error messages are clear and concise. This learning tool is very, very well done.
