Is it a good idea to use Chez Scheme to go over SICP? Meaning, is it still standard to enter into compatibility mode to do so? Thanks.

- kkylin 3y agoIt's been a long time since I went through SICP, so someone with more recent knowledge should correct me. But I think you can get through most (almost all?) of SICP with what's in the Scheme standard, which is a pretty small subset of almost any Scheme implementation. In particular, I don't recall much that uses anything specific to MIT Scheme.
- neilv 3y agoWe made Racket support for SICP, which is the next best thing to using MIT Scheme for SICP: https://docs.racket-lang.org/sicp-manual/ https://docs.racket-lang.org/sicp-manual/ (SICP Scheme isn't quite standard, and there's also some SICP-specific libraries.)
