The CL community has a "My Road to Lisp" meme, where CL users write

Chicken stories.
Pre-university:
BASIC. Pascal. C. C++.
University:
Rexx (I never discovered if this was a real language or just a
teaching tool at my school. It's very similar to...) SML. Java. More C/
C++. More SML. Perl.
Post-university:
PHP. Ruby. JavaScript. Scheme (finally!)
I've been looking for my "go to" language for a long time. Ruby was a
strong candidate, but Scheme takes what I like about Ruby and gives me
more options. I looked at CL but found it weird and inconsistent. The
little things matter. Now, I plan to plant myself firmly in Scheme and
see where it takes me.
(BTW, if nobody else is interested I'd
be happy to try my hand at a Ruby->Chicken tutorial).
I too would be happy to help. I recently volunteered to give a Scheme
introduction my local Ruby group.
