R6RS: Standard Language

The The Revised⁶ Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme defines a dialect of Scheme. We use R⁶RS to refer to both the standard and the language defined by the standard.

R⁶RS defines both libraries and top-level programs. Both correspond to PLT Scheme modules (see Modules). That is, although R⁶RS defines top-level programs as entry points, you can just as easily treat a library as an entry point when using PLT Scheme. The only difference is that an R⁶RS top-level program cannot export any bindings to other modules.
