No. It's a complete waste of time and they are old as fuck. Just forget about it.

>>59453994
Not really. 3 out of 5 chapters are dedicated to things specific of lisp. But, it's not like learning the syntax of a new language is challenging so why not just do it in scheme and lisp.

Lot to learn from that book. But MIT switched to Python as intro lang because they realized programming is mostly slapping together libraries.

the world runs on shitty code. design isnt a bottle neck in 99% of applications.

What is a book that teaches the same as SICP but has exercises in a modern language?

Perhaps "Understanding Computation" (pub O'Reilly), it uses ruby, and teaches the core theoretical concepts of CS.
