I don't understand the reference to Scheme. R's semantics are derived from S's not Scheme's semantics. Is the sentence in question saying that S's semantics are derived from Scheme's? S and R do indeed support functional programming, but I think it's misleading to say that the semantics of R or S are derived from Scheme. S (and hence R, which is an open source implementation of S) differ from Scheme in so many ways that I think the reference to Scheme should be removed from the page. Do others agree?
