It says on the revival project page [1] that the plan was to make T R5RS compatible. That is probably why they abandoned T to make Scheme 48 [2]

I am also interested in the revival of this language, but I don't see what the point of that would be. Does anyone here feel the same way?

It was verified as part of VLISP project. So, I've been keeping papers on PreScheme, Scheme48, and VLISP in case anyone wants to redo them with modern techniques. Another commenter, hga, helped me find a few I didn't have before with the specific algorithms. The basic ones are on the bottom here:

PreScheme itself is possibly worth reviving esp with ref counting or Rust's type of no-GC safety. I know another LISP, Carp, is trying to do something like the latter.
