Just for the record: I did. The docs are fine, but scheme is painful. I 
did not give up and I did finish a gnetlist backend mini-project that 
actually works, and is written in scheme. It took many times more effort 
than it would have in almost any other common languages. As this was my 
third such lesson about scheme in different projects, it also taught me 
not to touch scheme ever again.

I am sorry to hear you get demotivated. That shouldn't happen. If scheme 
is not to be removed, just declare it, and ignore all the scheme-hate 
mails. It's pretty clear that we won't convince you (or others who like 
scheme) that scheme is actually bad for us, non-schemers. The same way you 
won't convince us that scheme is a good thing. It's symmetrical. We 
should just accept this and move on, without anyone getting angry or 
demotivated.

Regards,
