Scheme is a programming language of the Lisp family. Praised for its minimalist design, Scheme is lexcially scoped, requires tail-call optimization and pioneered first class continuations.

using color schemes to hint at ctxneot is usefulAgreed. beyond that: you are totally crazyCorey? Crazy? Agreed. It should always be black on whiteBah. Green on black. White as a background is just more strain on the eyes.

Paredit is a mode for structured editing of S-expressions. Useful with any Lisp.
Rainbow_delimiters highlights parentheses, brackets, and braces according to their depth, each level in a different colour. Also available in ELPA.

 == Major Mode for editing Scheme ==
-=== Scheme mode ===
-Emacs has built-in Scheme Mode. It provides basic features, such as syntax highlighting etc.
-=== Geiser ===
-Geiser is a collection of Emacs major and minor mode, that can help Emacs to communicate to a foreign Scheme interpreter. It provides [[SLIME]]-like support for Racket and Guile.
-Example config may look like this:
+* [[Scheme-mode]]
-<syntaxhighlight lang="lisp">
+* [[Geiser]]
-(defun turn-on-parenthesis-goodies () (rainbow-delimiters-mode 1) (paredit-mode 1))
+* [[Quack]]
-(add-hook 'scheme-mode-hook 'turn-on-parenthesis-goodies)
-(load-file "C:/path-to-geiser/elisp/geiser.el")
-(setq geiser-active-implementations '(racket))
-(setq geiser-racket-binary "C:/path-to-racket/racket.exe")
-(require 'quack)
-</syntaxhighlight>
-=== Quack ===
-[http://www.neilvandyke.org/quack/ Quack] is a package that enhance Emacs support for Scheme. It supports many different interpreters such as Guile, Racket, etc. Geiser uses its own Quack version and, thus, makes Quack alone a good light alternative.
-When you have installed it, you can add these lines to your .emacs file:
-<syntaxhighlight lang="lisp">
-;; The binary of your interpreter
-(setq scheme-program-name "racket")
-;; This hook lets you use your theme colours instead of quack's ones.
-(defun scheme-mode-quack-hook ()
-  (require 'quack)
-  (setq quack-fontify-style 'emacs))
-(add-hook 'scheme-mode-hook 'scheme-mode-quack-hook)
-</syntaxhighlight>
