[plt-scheme] Some dissing of Scheme

What is coolest than most comments being about either Pascal or C++?
"logo" and "python" tags for an article about Scheme, of course! :P

for the professors, that it. By removing all the syntax, etc, you can

Result: most students quit by week two, and you are left with a fairly
