Having programmed in Scheme, I can say that I wouldn't want it to be my toplevel shell. It might be useful as a scripting language (and would definitely be somewhere between Perl and the basic Bourne shell in terms of functionality I guess), but if I had to type my *commands* that way, I would be typing more parentheses than any other character. :) -- Rafael R.
