Is it really "another universe" for most people? I thought python is a pretty popular language and it's hardly more type-safe than scheme.

I don't understand what you're asking. Python is completely unlike scheme.

The type situation irks me because I do ocaml for a living, so I rely on the type system a lot. Scheme reminds me of a more seductive flavor of FP, though sometimes it's cumbersome to ensure that a data structure isn't being subtly changed somewhere.
