Ha!
Neither "Scheme" nor "Lisp" is in any way standardized.
Ha!
Common Lisp was standartized by ANSI in 80es. I believe
standard was revisited in 1994 and Lisp ot some OO features.
Anyway, document number is ANSI X3.226-1994. Feel free to order
and read
Scheme is also standartized in several reports. They are quite
extensive and allows to create independent compilers/interpreters.
Scheme is a derivative of Lisp, and Lisp itself is splittered in dozens of
dialects,
nearly every AI institute developing it's own version.
that's true
There is no such thing as "THE Lisp".
yes, there is and that's why it is called Common Lisp
