This wiki is for the development of the R7RS Large programming language.

About

The specification for R7RS Large will be delivered in three volumes:

Foundations

Detail the core language semantics which implementations have to support directly. Target completion date December 2025.

Batteries

Provides a reasonably comprehensive standard library of the kinds of things Lisp programmers are used to having available in their favourite dialects/implementations. Currently no target for completion.

Environments

Provides operating system interfaces. Currently only vague plans.

You may care to peruse the FAQ.
