Icecream95 (ixn)'s status on Saturday, 30-Jun-2018 08:39:18 UTC Icecream95 @klaatu Eight reasons you should be using Scheme (specifically, the Guile implementation):
1. Imperative programming and anonymous functions.
2. Coming soon... guild package manager.
3. Predictable syntax:
> (define i 1)
> (when (= i 1) 'hi)
'hi
> (unless (< i 1) #t)
#t4. Arrays, dicts, tables, and arrays-of-arrays are out (mostly). Pairs are in!
5. Tabs are optional.
6. C bindings, so hooking up a game engine wouldn't be too hard.
7. GUI Frameworks.
8. Used by the GUIX package manager.
notklaatu repeated this.
