Learn SCHEME with Real Code Examples
Updated Nov 20, 2025
Performance Notes
Tail recursion reduces stack usage
Avoid unnecessary list copying
Use compiled Scheme for intensive computation
Macro expansions are evaluated at compile-time
Minimize deep recursion for very large datasets
Security Notes
Sanitize inputs for symbolic computation
Avoid code injection via eval
Be cautious with macros that execute arbitrary code
Validate untrusted scripts in sandboxed REPL
Maintain proper namespace hygiene
Monitoring Analytics
Trace execution in REPL
Use print/log for recursion debugging
Profile performance for large computations
Check macro expansions
Unit test symbolic computation
Code Quality
Use functional abstraction
Document function contracts
Test macros and recursion
Avoid side-effects where possible
Modularize for reusability
