SICP is Under Attack
Why to make so much noise? Universities, even good ones, are about making money at first. 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.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.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. ^_^
