That's my point. Is that bad somehow that it's written in a familiar and accessible language for the majority?
One can sharpen its knowledge without the barrier to understand a new language and syntax.
- goto11 7y agoIf learning a new language and syntax is a barrier, you will not be able to follow SICP anyway, since it includes developing multiple languages in various paradigms.

- goto11 7y agoCome on, I'm not putting anybody down. Just pointing out that you cannot avoid learning new languages anyway, since the exercises in the book requires you to design multiple different languages. It is basically a book about language design.
