Does anyone know offhand why he switched from CL to Scheme? He doesn't really mention why, and I wasn't sure if it was because the book was Scheme based or because of some other issue he had with CL.



He switched back and forth between them on different sections but wrote about the initial motivation for that decision here: http://eli.thegreenplace.net/2007/08/23/giving-plt-scheme-a-...


Ah that explains it pretty well, thank you!


I believe he said he switched between CL and Scheme; not quit using CL entirely.
