I'm learning Scheme so I can program Impromptu ( http://impromptu.moso.com.au/ ) to control my MIDI setup live. I'm having a hell of a time with macros and define-syntax; I have not yet found docs that explain those so I can understand them

Equal Rites, which came after that book, deals with this topic more directly. A seventh son has a seventh son...no wait, a daughter. She has raw magical power, and with some help gets to the wizard university. I'm not going to say any more;

Quite a few of the early comments are mentioning Clojure. Since it runs on the JVM, that might make more sense than CL for Google (whose main languages are Java and Python, IIRC).

In what ways? I have used OSX at work for years. It is plenty "Unix-ish" for me, and I've been using *nix for twenty-five years.
