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.
