Yeah I think that it might seem to be a sort of a paradox: "how can the language that's so easy to implement be also so powerful?"
But to be honest, I don't think that an average person even knows what Scheme or Lisp is.
(On the other hand, I do predict that within the upcoming decade, Scheme will be referred to as "the Programming Language", in the same way Aristotle was referred to as "the Philosopher" in the middle ages, and all the remaining languages will be forgotten)
