Hi r/scheme, my little brother (11) is interested in programming. Since he doesn’t know what he wants to make yet, I feel like scheme could be a good first language to learn the basics, paired with “The Little Schemer”, a book I worked through when I was younger that I feel like he’d like and would teach him some solid CS foundations. Any input on this?
Scheme was my first language, which my dad introduced me to around the same age. In my opinion, it’s a great first language, but he’s unlikely to really appreciate it until he’s tried a few others.
