SICP is Under Attack
Why to make so much noise? Universities, even good ones, are about making money <i>at first</i>. So, if mediocre masses thinks that python is 'more practical' or that 'with Java they can always get a job' they have no choice, but to follow these stupid stereotypes.<p>Trying to convince mediocre masses that Scheme is really  beautiful or SCIP is the greatest programming book ever (OK, together with the Man-month =) is not their job, their job is to get money from student's parents, good PR and grants from government or IBM.<p>Those who are smart enough and have a bit of taste will find out SCIP or discover beauty of Scheme (Python3/Ruby) and abandon Java or PHP themselves. ^_^
