I find Scheme a bit like wine. It's something nobody likes when they 
first discover it, but over time those who use it regularly appreciate 
it more and more.

(I say this as someone who still doesn't appreciate wine as yet. :-)

I am happy to see that you seem to intend to become a regular 
contributor. If you haven't already, you will soon find out that Guile 
is not just used in the large part of LilyPond's code that is written in 
Scheme, but also all over the place in the C++ parts, through the Guile 
C API and a good dose of lubrication with C++ idioms. Learning Scheme is 
definitely well-invested time (self-promotion:
