What to Take Away

Scheme and Haskell complement each other nicely. Haskell is arguably better for bigger applications but not so great for embedding. Scheme is wonderful for embedding but may not be as well suited for large applications.

Learning either one is a major mind-bender and each provides a different view on how to do functional programming.
