Sooner or later everything will be associated with SICP.

I thought MIT doesn't read SICP for their introductory CS classes anymore.

>> No.2405975

>>2405969
Perhaps because they realised it kind of threw people in at the deep end?

>> No.2405982

The book starts off introductory, but rapidly gets into powerful Lisp-particular constructs, such as using closures and engines, building interpreters, compilers and object-oriented systems. Often referred to by its acronym, SICP, which is pronounced "Sick-Pee". This
is the classical text for teaching program design using Scheme, and everybody should read it at least once.

They finally gave in and declared it "too hard". Fucking sellouts.

This is MIT we're talking about. They _are_ the "deep end".

I'm surprised that there aren't any Touhou memes in /prog/ now.

Wow, too hard for MIT? That's gotta be worth something.

Because people are getting more stupid and they don't want their admission rates to get any lower.

The "Suss Man" said that the course is obsolete, and that the book is old and useless.

MIT has moved on. Why can't you /prog/ guys do the same?

>> No.2406275

>>2405997
At least they didn't change it to Java

What's java? I never heard of it. Did you meant to say shit? Because I think you wanted to say shit.

Because with patience and hard work you can just pick it up and go, and everything else is easier from there.

Corrected.

So I heard UC Berkeley still reads SICP in their CS 61A class.

I read ``-- Perl 5.10.0 documentation --'' today, namely the perlvar section to find what special magic variable holds the string preceding whatever was matched by the last successful pattern match (It was $`).

How's that, huh, G.J. Sussman? Simon Peyote Joints?
