It's in _The Revised^%d Report on Scheme_, Introduction: Programming languages should be designed not by piling feature on top of feature, but by removing the weaknesses and restrictions that make additional features appear necessary. Of course, that was written well before Scheme had most of its current features. -- Neil Cerutti These people haven't seen the last of my face.
