Line 9:
And of course, Scheme is ''not'' Lisp, but a separate (but similar) language, which BTW also has several dialects.
:: Out of curiosity: what is the distinguishing mark that makes you say that? I.e. what difference is "so big" or "so significant" that you would say "it is a different language" as opposed to "it is a dialect of the same language". I'm asking because I once had a professor that considered C and FORTRAN and similar imperative languages to be mere "algol dialects". [[User:Sgeier|Sgeier]] 18:03, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
Indeed, the example which I wrote (and which, not surprisingly, turns out to be identical to the Common Lisp example) should work in any Lisp.
