Scheme Request for Implementation 171,
"Transducers,"
by Linus Björnstam,
has gone into "final" status.

The document and an archive of the discussion are available at <https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-171/>.

Here's the abstract:

A library implementing transducers — composable algorithmic transformations. Scheme has many different ways of expressing transformations over different collection types, but they are all unique to whatever base type they work on. This SRFI
proposes a new construct, the transducer, that is oblivious to the context in which it is being used.

Please note that some changes were made after the most recent draft announcement, including "clarifications about reduced values in list-reduce and list-transduce and the removal of generators from the excluded data structures under the Scope headline,"
as well as clarifications and improvements to markup, punctuation, and wording, and addition of an example.

Here are the diffs:
