Well, to each their own I guess. Getting some useful basics in programming has never hurt anyone; what I’d be more worried about is that some of these deal with Scheme implementations other than Guile. It’s a pity there’s a lot more nice documentation about Racket, DrScheme, Chicken, even MIT Scheme, than about Guile’s dialect specifically. In fact, Guile’s barely mentioned on schemers.org although it’s been one of the most ubiquitous Scheme environment in use for the better part of three decades. Just to address f. Gilmore’s question, this has also been discussed recently right here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2020-05/msg00171.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2020-05/msg00172.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2020-05/msg00173.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2020-05/msg00191.html Cheers, -- V.
