Scheme Request for Implementation 160,
"Homogeneous numeric vector libraries,"
by John Cowan (based on SRFI 4 by Marc Feeley),
including a major patch contributed by Shiro Kawai,
has gone into "final" status.

The document and an archive of the
discussion are available at
<https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-160/>.

Here's the abstract:

  This SRFI describes a set of
  operations on SRFI 4 homogeneous
  vector types (plus a few additional
  types) that are closely analogous to
  the vector operations library, SRFI
  133.  An external representation is
  specified which may be supported by
  the read and write procedures and by
  the program parser so that programs
  can contain references to literal
  homogeneous vectors.

Many thanks to John and Shiro and to
everyone who contributed to the
discussion of this SRFI.

Regards,

SRFI Editor
