@rml@functional.cafe@daviwil @PaniczGodek but in all fairness, I think interest in Scheme has been growing due to #Unison's adoption of Chez for their primary backend and 470x performance increase they saw as an immediate result.
The average person seems to think that scheme is a slow toy language for learning how to implement programming languages, which is just incredibly wrong as demonstrated by projects like #idris, #guix, #goblins and countless others. #scheme is C among functional languages.

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)
