I disagree. Scheme is a language where you "get it" very quickly, and I think that is key to motivate people to continue. My first language was freaking Pascal

- perfunctory 14y agoHow do you know it would be any better if you started with Scheme? Can you say you didn't get programming until you switched to scheme? Or did you get Scheme "very quickly" because you were already familiar with programming concepts?
