What I tell people when they ask me about Scheme: "It's a programming
language that brainwashes people into believing it's the best language,
and makes it impossible to code in anything else.  I love it."

I got a wicked Scheme buzz off some namespace manipulation this weekend.
I can stop any time I want, but right now I'm doing everything in Scheme
and Elisp.
