This is a very common misconception about GnuCash.

There are pieces of GnuCash, such as reports and graphs,
which are written in Scheme, but there are also very large
pieces, inluding much of the GUI, written in C. There are
far more lines of C in GnuCash than there are lines of Scheme.
You can contribute a lot to GnuCash without knowing any Scheme.

Everyone fluent in C raise your hand...
