Scheme is a leading representative of a clean language for algorithms.
I have an interest in Scheme as used in education and practice.  The
upcoming standard will strongly establish Scheme as a preeminent
language for both teaching and practical programming.

One of the deficiencies in the current standard, the lack of a
specified module standard, is crucial for programming in-the-large.
It is important enough that each substantial implementation of Scheme
has reimplemented their own system for linking modules together.  This
reinvention unnecessarily splinters the community.  Other additional
features specified in R6RS, such as records/structures are features
that every realistic program uses.  A substantial Scheme program
should be portable, but as it stands now, most substantial Scheme
programs are tailored toward a specific implementation.

I would like to see Scheme more widely accepted in the larger
programming community, and I see the new standard as a step toward
wider acceptance and adoption.
