Some introductions to computer science start with this language so you don’t have to be a rocket scientist
It is not a new language so there is a lot of documentation about it
The books that i use can be found online for free as well as solutions to exercises
While it is old, it is still used
Emacs is a text editor that can do a lot of things aside from text editing and it uses another lisp dialect so knowing scheme would help using it(I think)
The guile is used at GuixSD which is interesting for me
What to read?
I started with SICP but recursion seemed confusing and some other stuff too, the book is made for MIT students, which assumes you know some stuff already
So i found simply scheme which is way easier to understand, and is designed as a prequel for SICP
What software to use?
there is a DrRacket which has cua keys, it looks nice but “simply scheme” requires some files to be loaded and I could not load them in DrRacket
Emacs has no problems with loading files, so I decided to use it
