I thought scheme was written in C.
SCHEME[1] was written in MACLISP under the ITS operating system running on a
PDP-10.
Who says Lisp isn't good for writing interesting software? ;->
[1] The name was really "Schemer", a follow-on to Conniver which was a
response to Planner. Program names are represented in 6-bit packed
6 per word in ITS.
