Why are the idiots always complaining about not remembering :wq, when this is so much worse?

@spectrumgomas I'm a Schemer and not CL, but I haven't found it necessary to use Emacs or any IDE; #Scheme is very comfortable in any editor that can match parens, which is a low bar. I write code in editor, paste into REPL, or edit code in REPL (Chez Scheme has a great REPL editor) and copy it into editor.

Actually: Gets cancer, hair falls out, dies.

@spectrumgomas "I don't wanna fly! I'll put these shackles on and just hobble along."

@alexandria JavaScript actually: Eich: I want to put Scheme in the browser! Mozilla: It has to be C-like, tie into Java, and you only have 6 weeks. Eich: Fine, it's Self with C syntax. Also all the money you give me goes to odious causes.

@spectrumgomas Good enough tutorial in TSPL4:https://www.scheme.com/tspl4/records.html#./records:h0And a practical example later:https://www.scheme.com/tspl4/examples.html#./examples:h4

Almost everyone uses the declarative interface, procedural is for advanced cases like building your own object system.

@spectrumgomas Kind of a "When I was a beginner, I did X. When I was intermediate, I did Y! Now that I'm old, I do X." thing.

Records (use R6RS or SRFI-99 or something, not archaic SRFI-9) are great, but a lot of the time you can get away with a few helper functions and primitive types, and they work better with everything else in Scheme.
