Umm, NO. Racket isnt a "Scheme implementation". Racket was a Scheme as long as they called themselves MzScheme. Then they decided that they changed too much that a complete name change was justified in order to not confuse users.
Racket isnt a "Scheme implementation" for the same reason Scheme isnt a "Lisp implementation".
- iopq 11y agoScheme is a "Lisp implementation", it's just not a "Common Lisp implementation"
