This same pattern also hurt Scheme's reputation. For a while, when I mentioned I was doing big production work in Scheme, it was ordinary for someone to mention hating it from school.

(ProTip: Maybe you hated it from school because it was used as a tool for teaching theory and beginner stuff, and you were given difficult homework assignments. Maybe you'd like it more if you learned how to use it practically, while you were working on things you actually wanted to do.)
