Yes, that is a downside - and I suppose if one is just learning Scheme
one would not be aware of the issue.

Hello Jean,
This is a great effort.
A couple of suggestions. I suppose there are a few web pages with lists
of recommended texts for Scheme, but I think it would be great if you
added this one to the 'where to go from here' section:

Ouch! I see what you mean. And this is meant to be simplified? But the
problem really is that if a user tries to use an identifier with an
illegal syntax, how do they know? This is rather like those really
annoying websites which ask you to choose a password, and then tell

Thanks a lot Peter and others (privately) for your suggestions.
Sorry for the very late reply, I've been distracted by other
things. Your comments are most appreciated.

This looks great! Just what I'd needed a couple of years back when I was still

I've only just started with it, but there are a few niggling comments about the
English version. I've only got to page 2 (getting started) so far.

Hi Jean,
thank you very much for the tutorial and its translation to English. I went through and
it seems perfect for all of us coming from the world of "imperative" languages.
You have a precious gift to explain convoluted things in a straightforward way.

Hi,
Last year, after I delivered a presentation on Scheme at a
French-speaking virtual meeting of LilyPond users, I was asked
if I could write that down in tutorial form, which I did as
https://tutoriel-scheme.readthedocs.io. Over the past few days,

I found this to be a very strong brief introduction to Scheme:

just a quick question, as i'm _really_ trying to wrap my head around some of
