[plt-scheme] xxx chooses MzScheme as preferred language
A bit off-topic...
The interface is much better...I just looked at the top 5 languages
for all benchmarks, and functional languages make the top 5 in almost
all benchmarks. One is even all-functional. In general, they were
accompanied by C/C++/D (as expected):
