Yes. That's the point, you will write the dsl to do that in scheme. Then use that to solve the original problem. Abstractions on top of abstractions.

No. You can write a compiler for any language in Scheme, but it's disingenuous to say that Scheme has that language's features. There are many languages with way more powerful features than Scheme if you're comparing type systems.
