To All, I look forwards to the next scheme classroom; although PLT Racket really isn't pure scheme but rather an evolved dialect. I have experience in PLT Racket (I've actually written a form of the Set-Game with GUI as a hobby) and I'd love to help out on the next classroom. I think we'd need to touch base on how functional languages (like Haskell and PLT Racket) really differ from ALGOL derivaties. In addition, I think threading (places can be explained, but futures are pretty advanced) should be discussed since any complex program would often feature more than one thread.
