Thanks for the book link (nr 1).
I'll see if I can get any understanding of scheme this time...

///

As for nr 4, well yes interpreted lang. takes you faster to runtime, 
but I don't see what the author see is so special about the while do,
or about closures, I read this:

 https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Closure.html#Closure

but I fail to see any definition of what a closure really is, is it a 
(let ...) thing containing a lambda expression ?
(And lambda, isn't that just a function without name ?)

I read

 https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Serial-Number.html#Serial-Number

but isn't that the same as

static some_struct x;
void some_init() { x = ...; };
some_run() { do something; }

It feels like I'm blind and don't see what's so special about this.
And reading thoose two links I get a feeling that the author says the 
same thing about something I'm used to, but he/she uses for me
unfamiliar words, which make it a really hard to understand it.

So, is there a scheme book for c programmers ?
And, you know, there are dictionaries available when travelling abroad,
which one should I use when going to scheme-land ?
