Trying C and implementing a Scheme in it would teach a lot about C and Scheme as well.

It is sort of like learning Haskell and Scheme simultanously with "Write Yourself a Scheme in 48 Hours - A Haskell Tutorial".

(http://halogen.note.amherst.edu/~jdtang/scheme_in_48/tutoria...).




Very true, and good advice... I just want them to not dilute too much and learn the language at least enough to decide if they like it or not.
