in my case the answer is long and winding.

I started by embedding Guile Scheme into my game engine, because I wanted to make a game, and I ended up with this;

(then Guile developers changed some APIs and so it no longer compiles)

But I have used Guile a lot in Emacs via Geiser to do various small things, such as this:

The macros and functions that I've accumulated along the way were eventually gathered into one module that I called (grand scheme):

Later on, while still trying to make a game, I concluded that the medium of text isn't expressive enough, and that I would like to be able to write some pieces of my program (like finite state machines) in visual notation, so I ended up developing GRASP, The Graphical Scheme Programming environment, which currently looks like this:

and it also works on Android

(which is why I chose Kawa Scheme to implement it)
