Working Group 2 is pleased to announce the first draft of the second part of the R7RS-Large Foundations, the "Procedural Fascicle". This draft encompasses the familiar block programming forms, such as lambda, let, if, or, and set!.
The draft is available here:
https://r7rs.org/large/fascicles/proc/
The biggest new feature is the ability to mix definitions and expressions in bodies, such as the body of a lambda. For example, the following is now valid:
(define (map f lst)
(unless (list? lst)
(error 'map "not a list" lst))
(define (map* lst acc)
(if (null? lst)
(reverse acc)
(map* (cdr lst) (cons (f (car lst)) acc))))
(map* lst '()))
