Does anybody else find this an amusing truth?

As far as your question, yes I think scheme is an introductory
language. It just also happens to be a very rich language that will
take you a long while to grow out of. While the syntax is simple,
there are idioms that make life much easier that you will pick up in
your studies.

Luck!
