I've reverted [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Scheme_(programming_language)&diff=353339065&oldid=349190686 this edit] which was based on an opinion stated in the edit summary: "Forth is even easier to implement, and has as much power from further readily available extensions."
This isn't because I want to engage in a debate on the relative power of [[Forth (programming language)|Forth]] and Scheme (that isn't what we do here at Wikipedia) but because I think it's bad form to insert personal opinion into articles. For more on what is meant by "power" in the context of Scheme and other Lisps, read the "Fundamental design features" section. Any language may be augmented to contain these features, but every standard-conforming implementation of Scheme provides them without the need for augmentation. --[[User talk:Tony Sidaway|TS]] 17:57, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
: I've changed the word "power" to the wikilinked phrase [[expressive power]], This refers to the readiness with which complex data and control structures can be expressed in Scheme. --[[User talk:Tony Sidaway|TS]] 18:07, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
