Programming by poking: why MIT stopped teaching SICP
I'm not techie, so i'd like to ask if my interpretation is ok. The switch from scheme to python is in the tidal change of conceptual thinking? Previously, giants & pioneers approach AI systematically, w consistent logic and clean structure (like maths language).<p>However, for now, the narrative shifts to "poking around, hoping to poke the right thing"?<p>I use Racket & its thinking for research. I think that structured thinking is still intellectually important. So it'd still survive, as there'd still be people sticking w it.
