👉 The Scheme Project is a pioneering programming language developed in the 1970s by Guido van Rossum, initially designed for academic research and later open-sourced in 1995. It emphasizes simplicity, elegance, and reliability, featuring a powerful type system, garbage collection, and a robust standard library. Scheme's syntax is inspired by Lisp, promoting functional programming paradigms, while its interactive shell and macro system enhance development flexibility. It has influenced languages like Clojure and Perl, and remains a significant tool in both academic and practical programming contexts.
