Lots of top schools use scheme (via SICP). Cal, Stanford and MIT all do (or at least did when I was an undergrad).

- Dewie 12y agoDude you went to MIT? That's rad. EDIT: why downvote someone for complimenting them on their top schooling?
- jacalata 12y agoBecause it is noise (do you really think that either the poster or the rest of HN need to hear that you are impressed by MIT?), and also because it isn't even stated that he did go to MIT.
- Dewie 12y agoOf course they don't need to hear that; it's pretty much a given. Their superiority is well-established at this point.
- hga 12y agoAfter the dot.com bust cratered EECS enrollment (down by more than half after being steady for decades), MIT revised its curriculum and completely purged Scheme from it (or at least the required parts). It's all Python and Java now :-(.
