Key differences between Scheme and Lisp

CharacteristicSchemeLisp
SyntaxScheme has a simpler syntax compared to Lisp, with a focus on minimalism and expressiveness.Lisp has a more complex syntax compared to Scheme, with a focus on parentheses and prefix notation.
ParadigmScheme is a dialect of Lisp that follows a functional programming paradigm.Lisp is a family of programming languages that supports multiple paradigms, including functional programming and procedural programming.
TypingScheme is dynamically typed, allowing for flexible and dynamic programming.Lisp can be dynamically typed or statically typed, depending on the specific dialect.
PerformanceScheme is generally considered to have good performance, especially for certain types of applications.Lisp's performance can vary depending on the specific dialect and implementation.
Libraries and frameworksScheme has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Lisp.Lisp has a larger ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Scheme, with many options available for different purposes.
Community and supportScheme has a smaller community compared to Lisp, but still has active users and resources available.Lisp has a larger and more active community compared to Scheme, with extensive resources and support available.
Learning curveScheme has a relatively steep learning curve, especially for beginners due to its minimalistic syntax and functional programming paradigm.Lisp has a moderate learning curve, with some complexity in syntax but also a wide range of learning resources available.
