> I've had an interviewer laugh in my face when I told them my favorite language was Scheme.

Anyone who has contempt for the beauty of Scheme is a liability, not an asset, to your team and you can safely recommend no-hire.



I had to control-f too far down for this comment. I would have a hard time working with anyone who laughed at the idea of anyone's favorite language, let alone a language like Scheme. There are reasons to dislike Scheme but it's hard to argue against how amazing the language can be.
