The MIT SICP course is pretty amazing. Would be a shame if they replaced it with Python. I use Python every day, but it's far more complicated to use it to demonstrate various properties of programming languages due to its great complexity.


don't worry, they have JavaScript version now. maybe it more complex, but at least can execute immediately.


The MIT Scheme interpreter executes immediately, like Python.

Maybe people these days can't handle anything beyond a browser?


wow, do you understand it can't run on windows? so guess you require student who bought windows computer give up programming? last time, I installed Racket and get sicp module. guess people really need move to JavaScript. at least, they don't need to spend time on this.
