Hello Jean,
This is a great effort.
A couple of suggestions. I suppose there are a few web pages with
lists of recommended texts for Scheme, but I think it would be
great if you added this one to the 'where to go from here'
section:
Teach
Yourself Scheme in Fixnum Days (ds26gte.github.io)
Gosh, it seems to teach Lisp-style non-hygienic macros instead of syntax-rules/syntax-case. That’s heresy against my religion! OK, I stop now :-)
Thanks for that link, I saw it before but didn’t remember it. When I’m back from vacation, I’ll probably replace the reference to the books with a link to schemers.org.
Cheers, Jean
Also, the link to the SICP text is only for the companion site
for the book, not the text. I strongly urge anybody who is
involved with Scheme to obtain this book, and keep it on the desk
and read it a dozen times. A superb classic computer science text,
quite unparalleled. Scheme was the standard language taught at MIT
for many years. A large number of people are disappointed and
dismayed that I believe they now teach Python instead. While
Python is a nice language. Scheme teaches a much higher level of
abstract thought, and even if you never use it, it makes you a
better programmer.
And amazingly, here are Abelson and Sussman lecturing MIT 6.001
in 1986, the complete series, for employees at HP.

Hi,
Last year, after I delivered a presentation on Scheme at a
French-speaking virtual meeting of LilyPond users, I was asked
if I could write that down in tutorial form, which I did as
https://tutoriel-scheme.readthedocs.io. Over the past few days,
I've set some time apart to translate that into English.
The English version can be found here:
