No, I don't. I don't want to start a flame-war... I just say
I know both languages very well. Its hard to explain (but
not impossible though) why scheme is a better language.
If you had known lisp well, you had probably known what I ment.

In my opinion, scheme is such a language. It takes some time
to learn if you are not used to s-expressions though.
