It's too bad that the above history was deleted. (Maybe someone who knows how could restore it.) It had good information on the early history of Scheme particularly with respect to the following:

* The controversy over whether actors were just the lambda calculus in disguise.
 
I wonder if there are other topics like the above that should be included.[[Special:Contributions/171.66.109.31|171.66.109.31]] ([[User talk:171.66.109.31|talk]]) 23:20, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
