Just in: Scheme is out.

    The MIT is going to change its curriculum structure that was famous for teaching Scheme in introductory courses. One force behind the reform is no one else than Harold Abelson, famous for his marvelous Scheme opus SICP. But why changing?

    The new curriculum is designed with three goals in mind: greater flexibility in requirements, better integration of electrical engineering and computer science, and more depth to better prepare students for graduate school or real-world design challenges, he said.

    And programming language wise:

    Content-wise, the class is a mix as well. The first four weeks of C1 will be a lot like the first four weeks of 6.001, Abelson said. The difference is that programming will be done in Python and not Scheme.

Fuck you Schemers. Fuck yeah, python!

Ha ha ha, you're just another 15 year old OMG OPTIMIZED kid. I were just like you. My VGA mode X scroll hacks were the fastest, as I wrote them in assembly. I even wrapped line handling between CLI and STI to make it even more OMG OPTIMIZED LUK ITS FASTER LOOOOL.

That lasted until I needed to get things done, both for me and to make bread, and grew up.
