::According to work published at the time referenced above and also including [http://publications.csail.mit.edu/lcs/pubs/pdf/MIT-LCS-TR-154.pdf Semantics of Communicating Parallel Processes] , [http://dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/6272/AIM-410.pdf?sequence=2 Viewing Control Structures as Patterns of Passing Messages] and [http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=512975&coll=portal&dl=ACM Synchronization in actor systems], the following controversies were prominent in the initial development of Scheme:
::*hairy control structure ''versus'' Actor message passing
::*EVALUATE!UNINTERRUPTEDLY ''versus'' message arrival ordering
