I fondly remember doing a course in my CS degree that was basically working through SICP as a class, taught my an ancient but very fun and enthusiastic tenured professor. When he retired I think the curriculum was updated to JavaScript (??) or as the new professor called it "scheme in drag". I'm glad to have taken the original course..


Honestly, the new professor wasn't too far off. I've often referred to "The Little Schemer" as "the best javascript book that isn't about javascript."
