Oh it isn’t that hard, it might seem complicated because of all the parenthesis and strange keywords like cons, but it’s actually just a matter of getting used to it. It’s a fun language to learn recursion for example.
It becomes a lot simpler when you learn the patterns for building recursive functions, at one point, you don’t even look at the whole function because you just think of the parts.
I started by making a function that looks like that:
This function just returns the list of numbers from 1 to 15, that's what it does because the compute function just returns whatever is n. Then I simply filled compute with my conditions.
define is used to define variables and functions,
cons is used to build a list from a head and a queue (that's not hard to understand but it definetely requires some practice and research,
Thanks for sharing Tanguy!
Cool stuff! Haven't heard about r5rs, looks complicated, but cool :P

Looks interesting, and after your explanation, it does not look as complicated, I might give it a try someday💪
And yeah, most languages seem a bit overwhelming at first.
Thanks! Feel free to ping me for help if you try to get into it and feel stuck.
Thank you! I will if I get into it :)
