of other schemes/lisps
was your point 4 (or is it 3? :P ).

> 4. PLT Scheme is vital.
The community looks (at least from the outside) interested in building
stuff, not just preserving
what they see as sacred pillars, there are up to date documentation
and people seem nicer
to outsiders.
For example, I took a look at comp.lang.lisp and saw a lot of people getting
consciously hostile to other people who are obviously beginners, but
were asking perfectly
valid questions, which frankly drove me away very fast.
Here I've yet to see that, and I think that is very much related to do
with your point.
My 2 cents.
