Getting started with Scheme by solving an Advent of Code 2018 challenge

This article is a technical walkthrough for beginners learning Scheme (Chicken Scheme). It demonstrates solving the Advent of Code 2018 Day 5 polymer reaction problem, covering how to work with the REPL, convert strings to lists, write a function to detect opposite casing characters, and use pattern matching for a concise solution. The goal is to show Lisp/Scheme's approachability and practicality.
