Key differences between Scheme and C

CharacteristicSchemeC
SyntaxScheme has a simple and minimalist syntax with a heavy use of parentheses for function calls and expressions.C has a more complex syntax with a combination of keywords, operators, and punctuation symbols.
ParadigmScheme is a functional programming language that supports procedural and object-oriented programming paradigms.C is an imperative programming language that supports procedural programming paradigm.
TypingScheme is dynamically typed, meaning variable types are determined at runtime.C is statically typed, meaning variable types are determined at compile time.
PerformanceScheme is generally slower than C due to its interpreted nature.C is a compiled language and generally offers better performance than Scheme.
Libraries and frameworksScheme has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to C.C has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available for various purposes.
Community and supportScheme has a smaller community and less support compared to C.C has a large and active community with extensive support.
Learning curveScheme has a steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming concepts.C has a moderate learning curve, especially for beginners with no prior programming experience.
