Scheme is super-easy to set up these days.

Step 1: Download http://racket-lang.org/

Step 2: Follow the quick start guide: http://docs.racket-lang.org/quick/

Step 3: Click "Run"

No "click through Visual Studio's project setup" phase, no "how do I open the text editor from IDLE" phase, no "open a command prompt" it's all right there.

This makes the environment and the language perfect for beginner students.
