I think spending a few days with Scheme is valuable for all 
programmers.

By being a minimal language you get down to the essence of 
functional programming by reading some tutorials on Scheme and 
playing with the interpreter.

(and you can more easily configure some open source apps who use 
guile/elisp/scheme, so it has some practical value…)
