The development of Scheme was heavily influenced by two predecessors that were quite different from one another: [[Lisp (programming language)|Lisp]] provided its general semantics and syntax, and [[ALGOL]] provided its [[Scope (computer science)|lexical scope]] and block structure. Scheme is a dialect of Lisp but Lisp has evolved; the Lisp dialects from which Scheme evolved—although they were in the mainstream at the time—are quite different from any modern Lisp. Scheme falls within the large Lisp family of languages that includes Common Lisp, Scheme, ISLisp, EuLisp, XLisp, and AutoLisp.
