I have been fluent in Scheme for some time. In fact, I used Project Euler problems and Racket (formerly called PLT) to teach myself Scheme. I enjoyed it immensely, and it reminded me of why I decided to study programming in the first place.

Unfortunately, I spent so long writing Scheme for my own amusement that I neglected my skill with C. I felt like a complete idiot the next time I tried to compose something in C, and I try to be more mindful of such things now.
