Seriously, come on, its called Hacker News, not Hacker Archives. I know its not completely unheard of for the site, but it just seems like this one has been posted a few times now. Where was that search function again so I can look it up? But anyway, when this was news, I seem to remember someone mentioning that Gerald Sussman made a few comments on it. I think he said it's still used for many classes, including some of his more advanced classes, and that when asked why he thought they chose it over Scheme for SICP he said probably because of libraries, especially to control the robots they were using in the class.
