Scheme (was Re: Limitations of Inform and TADS?)

Could I bother somebody to tell me a little bit about Scheme and why it
would be better for writing IF games than other languages? As a
non-computer-programmer, I know about languages like LISP and Pascal, but
I've never heard of Scheme. (I've heard of Prolog, but I don't know
anything about it.)

I would guess that the other non-programmer-types on r.a.if would be
interested in a bit of an explanation, so you may want to post your
reply. But if Scheme is something that everybody else here probably knows
about, and I'm embarassing myself by admitting I haven't heard of it,
then please feel free to e-mail me an explanation instead.

Thanks.
