Scheme may very well be The Future, but this arrogant attitude does nothing
to promote the language.  Scheme seems to share much of its syntax with
Lisp, which tends to be a "write only" language.  Languages in which it
is often easier to scrap a function and write it from scratch than to
debug it don't earn high marks among those who have to maintain code for
a living.

Scheme may be wonderful, but you shouldn't dismiss people who complain
about its syntax.  Their complaints may be valid.
