The Snowfort is “a repository of Scheme packages that are portable to
several popular implementations of Scheme”. I think the
developers of Snow have taken the correct approach by
targeting the more featureful Scheme implementations,
which share quite a bit of useful functionality in excess
of R5RS. However, at the moment the packages look like
they’re written under the assumption the host Scheme has
no useful module system, as the packages I looked at all
prefixed their exports with snow-
. The module system in R6RSshould fix this, so hopefuly these annoying prefixes will
go away.
There’s snow business like snow business, snow business I snow…
