The denotational semantics of R4RS, R5RS and R7RS Scheme (included in the language report) uses the same notation that was used by J. E. Stoy in his book, Denotational Semantics: the Scott-Strachey approach to programming language theory. This notation includes:$s\downarrow k$ for the $k$th element of the sequence $s$$\#s$ for the length of sequence $s$$s\dagger k$ for dropping of the $k$ first elements of sequence $s$$s\S t$ for concatenation of sequencesIt seems quite terse, and potentially very cryptic.I am aware of only one other book that uses this notation -- Christian Queinnec's Lisp in Small Pieces.I'd like to know if there are any other introductory books besides Stoy's and Queinnec's which uses it -- and also if it's used in any other works defining denotational semantics of languages, other than Scheme.
Where, besides Scheme reports (RnRS) has Stoy's notation for auxiliary semantic functions been used?
