Scheme is a minimalist, functional programming language and dialect of Lisp, developed in the 1970s by Gerald Jay Sussman and Guy L. Steele Jr. at MIT. It emphasizes simplicity, first-class functions, and tail-call optimization, and is widely used in computer science education to teach fundamental programming concepts. It has influenced many other languages and remains popular among academics and enthusiasts of functional programming.
