Preface

This technical report contains the papers presented at the workshop on Scheme and Functional Programming 2000 (Scheme 2000). The workshop took place in Montréal, Canada, on September 17, 2000. The aim of Scheme 2000 was to provide a forum for researchers and implementors who work on Scheme and/or functional programming ideas.

The program committee selected the papers from 17 draft papers, which were submitted in response to a call for papers. All committee members reviewed all of the papers. The program committee held a virtual meeting. The lively meeting lasted for over two weeks. The committee decided for each paper whether to accept it and, if so, whether to present it as a regular or a short paper. Then each paper was assigned to a committee member who summarized the original written comments and the comments of the virtual meeting for the author(s).
