- rfrey 7y agoBeethoven is bigger than "piano". Also, there is very little outrage in this thread - some sadness, some resignation, some head shaking sure, but not outrage.
- greenshackle2 7y agoIt doesn't have to be Scheme but I'm skeptical you can do full justice to the metaprogramming parts of SICP if you're not using a homoiconic language. Unsurprisingly, "SICP in Python" reverts to a Lisp dialect for those parts of the book.
