True, I was having an emotional moment after getting QUACK + mzscheme setup.
As far as I know, the QUACK + mzscheme combo should work wherever you can have a running instance of Emacs and mzscheme. It seems to do the job pretty well. Running mzscheme with the errortrace argument and a few modifiers returns a full debug backtrace for errors...
Worth while questions though. I do, however, find the cleanliness of a programming language an attractor/deterrent to my learning it. Common Lisp is pretty crufty.
I imagine Scheme is certainly better suited to running as an embedded than CL.
Either way, learning the language first is my concern for educational reasons; making it useful is my secondary concern.

I'm in the opposite boat, I have to somehow make my time earn me a living, it's hard to justify time out for pure educational reasons (even if I do smuggle a bit here and there). Great to see you happy about learning a new language though, you can never have enough of those under your belt. Especially when they're off the beaten path.
- Ixiaus 17y agoYeah, I have no debt and no dependencies so I left my job to pursue self education and personal projects. Thanks for the vote of confidence :)
