Scheme is probably my favorite language for learning and tinkering, precisely because of its simplicity and minimalist standard library. Starting with the most simple elements and then building up to powerful abstractions is a satisfying experience.

I loved most things I've read that used scheme, that said I struggle to write mid-sized programs in it (I have the same problem with clojure).
