Scheme is around today, and there are some pretty good implementations. But few people use it. Sometimes I suspect there are more Scheme implementations than Scheme users. Lisp-style programming with s-expressions is just not very popular. Pure (or "pure-ish") functional programming in general just isn't. I know some people really like functional programming and/or scheme, but the reality of the matter is that this never has been (and I suspect never will be) a mainstream opinion. Functional programming is the Black Metal of programming. It's great and all, but will always be for a relatively small and niche audience. And that's okay. Not everything needs to be large.
