Thanks. I was actually more attracted to scheme, then did become a bit confused, but maybe I should just head over to lisp and check harder to see what's what.

Scheme is good, easy to learn and flexible; don't get me wrong: i just wanted to remark that it isn't very portable.

It isn't difficult to jump from Scheme to Lisp and viceversa; they are similar in many aspects.

If you want a quick comparison between Common Lisp and Scheme it would go like this: Common Lisp is a standarized, extremely powerful and flexible programming language; while Scheme is a do-it-yourself kit for creating your own extremely powerful and flexible programming language.

That all said, Tcl isn't fragmented.
