racket IS scheme

Racket is a language from the Scheme family. lest we give every scheme language a separate category they should all be categorized under Scheme

this page should be renamed from Category:Racket to Racket, but i am not doing that now because i am not sure how that affects all the racket solutions. they may need to be moved to scheme first.--eMBee 07:54, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

There is some ambiguity about this. At which point does something become a separate language vs an implementation of the same language? Can the makers of an implementation simply decide that it is a new language? From what I hear, there are some incompatibilities between Racket and Scheme. Wikipedia currently calls Racket a programming language: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racket_(programming_language) which it does not do for other implementations of Scheme. Many questions on StackOverflow simply say "Racket" without mentioning "Scheme". --76.21.41.59 09:44, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
