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?

    If (not (eq? '() #f)) then it may make sense to treat '() as non-atomic. “atomic?” would then be a cheap version of “list?”.
