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
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

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 (

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.
