They're using Scheme. Wow that takes me back. But I have to say, it certainly forces you to focus on two things:
1. Form and flow
2. Functional paradigms
I retain these lessons even today, no matter what language or paradigm I use. Reading this paper, I realized that when I mentor, I do the same thing they did. Teaching function is giving a man a fish; teaching form is teaching him to fish. If the student or mentee can think around the problem, they can find any solution, vs the one they were instructed to find.
