This is a continiually reoccuring issue i run into.
Every time i feel starting with some new language i do the following: go look up some guide, read a couple pages and then decide to "hmm, lets get a compilator/interpreter and try this shit" So i google and pick whatever looks decent that appears. Install it and slam into a fucking brickwall.
How the fuck does this shit work? I think and bring up the help. Turns out theres usually no simple getting started guide that actually tells you how to get started with grinding the fucking code. There's instead a 500 bilion pages documentation of the workings of the program instead which i couldn't care less about.
To cut a long story short/TL;DR:
I installed the GNU/mit scheme thing after starting to read SCIP. how the fuck do i get it to interpret my code? I feel like when i was 12 and ended up with a command line c++ compiler and no clue what to do(which pretty much killed my childish programming interest instantly).
Only time i haven't had this problem is with ruby and some random basic dialect. And java, but that doesn't count as a programming language and was a uni course.
