8 @section Guile's Implementation of Scheme
10 Guile's core language is Scheme, which is specified and described in the
11 series of reports known as @dfn{RnRS}. @dfn{RnRS} is shorthand for the
13 @dfn{Revised$^n$ Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme}.
16 @dfn{Revised^n Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme}.
18 Guile complies fully with R5RS (@pxref{Top,
19 ,Introduction,r5rs,R5RS}), and implements some aspects of R6RS.
21 Guile also has many extensions that go beyond these reports. Some of
22 the areas where Guile extends R5RS are:
26 Guile's interactive documentation system
29 Guile's support for POSIX-compliant network programming
32 GOOPS -- Guile's framework for object oriented programming.
