Key differences between Scheme and R

CharacteristicSchemeR
SyntaxScheme has a simple and minimalist syntax with a focus on parentheses and prefix notation.R has a syntax that is similar to traditional programming languages with a mix of infix and prefix notation.
ParadigmScheme is a functional programming language that also supports imperative and object-oriented programming paradigms.R is primarily a functional programming language but also supports procedural and object-oriented programming paradigms.
TypingScheme is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.R is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.
PerformanceScheme is known for its simplicity and efficiency, making it a fast and performant language.R is not known for its performance and can be slower compared to other languages due to its focus on data analysis and manipulation.
Libraries and frameworksScheme has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to R.R has a large ecosystem of libraries and frameworks specifically designed for data analysis, statistics, and machine learning.
Community and supportScheme has a smaller community and less support compared to R.R has a large and active community with extensive support from the R Foundation and various online resources.
Learning curveScheme has a steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming concepts.R has a moderate learning curve, especially for those with prior programming experience, but can be challenging for beginners.
