It’s nice to see this thread from the Python group migrate over here to
Ruby. I recommend reading the thread for some interesting thoughts on
Lisp/Scheme, Python and programming languages in general.
I think Scheme is an excellent language and that learning both Scheme
and Ruby is a good idea.

Maybe
it needs ruby and python to enlighten people without confusing them
with
a syntax they are not used to first.[snip]
At the moment I am quite happy with Scheme although I do miss the
large lively communities and the amout of libraries associated with
Perl, Python and Ruby. I hope the “revival” of Lisp-like languages
some of you have observed will gain momentum and that CL anb Scheme
will catch up with Python and Ruby in the areas where they are behind.[snip]
