Scheme is just another old programming language.  I had a class a couple of
years ago where we had to do projects in different languages and Scheme was
one of them.  My advice to you is to forget you ever heard of it.  Its a
nightmare to code in, unless modern programing languages bore you.

I think Scheme is a variant of Lisp or the other way around.  Either way,
its a bigger pain than Scheme.  You will go into convulsions due to the
shere number of parenths() required to code in that
language......(if(this)then(this var (foo (bar)))) ick!!!

something every developer should have in their work.  if you can't take
pride in your code, then why bother?
