I am working with Scheme in school. It's not a nice language - Java, which we did before, is a lot better :D

Scheme (and also Racket) is more a language for maths freaks :)

have fun

glad to see someone sharing the pain of the parentesis :D

im making some programs with it.


Scheme is crap tbh, but racket is great, it has some things better than C and C++

racket seams to be used a lot by some google aplications :wink:

though both have the same basis

well, im not that deep into racket, but from what ive seen, and by talking in the irc channel, its a good programing language, very mathematical though, it has diferent aplications, you can make a game with it, but its harder to understand the code.

it is dev friendly but the comunity is very small indeed :cry:

Scheme is a typical language used at schools to exercise the minds of students who think they are already good programmers. I was only impressed by its ability to handle arbitrarily large integers.

I've also used strange languages that allow you to mix lisp-style and c-style code.

I am using this (http://kogs-www.informatik.uni-hamburg. ... lt&lang=en) for picture editing via scheme. I think there is a version for racket too ;)

hm i shall try this tonigth :D

you can do the same with just scheme, you can define draw functions, problem is it takes a lot more time than in racket, but this new stuff sounds very interesting.
