2.	It seems Scheme does not allow 2 parts of a program run
simultaneously.  Are we right?  Has anyone done simulations in scheme.

 

The simulation collection (available on PLaneT) is useful for developing
continuous or discrete simulation models.  It can be downloaded and
installed using (require (planet "simulation.ss" ("williams"
"simulation.plt"))).  This will install both the simulation collection
and the science collection.  It will also install the reference manuals,
which will then be available from the Help menu.  There are many
simulation examples available with the source code.

Dear Sir/Madam,

We are 8th and 9th grade students.  We are looking for language which
will allow us to present Chemistry and Physics concepts graphically and
interactively.  We would also like to acquire good programing skills.
We have following questions:

3.	Why there are are so many Schemes?   Which one would be good for
our objectives of doing the job and also easy to learn.
4.	It seems Scheme does not allow 2 parts of a program run
simultaneously.  Are we right?  Has anyone done simulations in scheme.
5.	If we have to make our programs useful for others so that they
can run in their browser then do we have to convert them into Java (Java
servelets and applets)?  If so then it seems Java should be our first
language to be learned.  Are we right? 

Thanks,
Bal Salvi
