That's why I thought Waterloo's switch to Scheme was noteworthy. MIT's 6.001 was the prototypical Scheme class and now it's Python (w/robots).

  Keep in mind that MIT doesn't have a CS department. Course 6 is EECS.

    Not really that important to note. Basically all of the scheme instruction (short of two classes taught by Sussman) has been removed from the curriculum.

      When I took 6.001 (SICP) in Spring 1987 there weren't a lot of classes using Scheme either. I think the main difference is that SICP is no longer required for all of course 6.

        6.034 was the Scheme follow-on, and it's now Python, too.

  We're using HtDP, not SICP. Our approach is quite different from MIT's (past and present).
