[GoLUG] Scheme -- guile3, may all your parentheses be in the correct order

[David Billsbrough]

All,

I downloaded an Ada compiler to check it out because I didn't have the time to be so confused by Rust.   :-)
After seeing the Ada compiler (GNU gnat) and development tools are huge and the docs are non-ending
I thought I might try checking out something a little 'smaller' like a 'lisp' or a 'scheme' next.   They are older
languages so they might be easier.  Right?

So ... after about three days at burning the midnight 'oil' I have a few small hello world and a sort of a port
of a simple date counting utility ...  <g>

Now how do you date calculations in in Scheme or even some 'racket?'
