See, that's the common misconception with PLT. While it was built for education, it's really a nice full featured system for any use. Just use something other than the "Beginning Student" language.

I have to agree. I know CL quite well, and decided to have a look at scheme last week. I wrote a small (but useful) program with PLT and was rather impressed by the amount of library code available. Distributing the program as a small stand-alone executable to a friend was also incredibly simple. Also, I particularly liked the module system and wish CL had something similar.

It's also very elegant.
