Sussman‘s and Abelson‘s SICP forever changed the way I think about code, abstraction, modularity, in a time where my peers were hacking in Pascal or C. Where I used Lisps/Scheme to create a mental model of the problem, they had to do the abstraction in their head and then implement it in a language that demanded low level focus. So I am forever thankful for having been exposed to SICP early on.
