Scheme Is Love

Don Box has written an article in MSDN Magazine called Scheme is Love. If you've never learned Scheme or any other dialect of Lisp, it's worth a read. It's a short article that just scratches the surface of why Scheme is so powerful. If you want to learn more about Scheme, Kent Dybvig's The Scheme Programming Language is a terrific book. And if you decide to learn Scheme, why not read Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP)? It can be tough sledding but worth the effort. Note: SICP is a first-year undergraduate course at MIT.
