I have tried several editors and IDEs, and you're pretty much left on 
your own, typing characters. The only assistance I've found is syntax 
highlighting and closing parenthesis automatically. Besides those, the 
minimum features I'd expect to feel comfortable editing scheme are 
structural editing (like Emacs paredit) and something like rainbow 
delimiters. These tools alone make any worries about parenthesis go away 
(at least in my case).

But I've always wanted the same level of assistance I find for Python.

Personally, I'm hoping projects like 
https://codeberg.org/rgherdt/scheme-lsp-server will make it easier to 
improve the experience outside Emacs (and maybe inside too).
