Interesting. All my friends at MIT absolutely hated Scheme after taking that class; I don't know what the general sentiment there is.

- Zak 19y agoDid your friends say what it was they hated about Scheme after taking that class? I can see where people might make an association between the language and the difficult tasks they were being asked to perform with it.
- mdakin 19y agoThis is probably a personality thing. Many of my friends at MIT loved 6.001/SICP/Scheme and most of them at least respected it. Personally the class rewired my mind in fundamental ways and I appreciate that. That said I trust the folks running the Course VI department. I have not looked into the specifics of the new program but I suspect it is a fine program.
