After working with C++, I spent years embedded in Scheme. Have you worked with any other functional languages, like Haskell, ML, or even Lean? Intellectually, the value of Scheme is it's an untyped lambda calculus, while the rest dump mountains of typing and syntactic sugar on top. The other interesting aspect of Scheme is call/cc - call with current continuation, which you can learn a lot from.
