On SICP

It's from 1985, a comparatively elderly era of computing. Its ideas are barely relevant today.

The world has moved on, and we are using more modern programming techniques and languages.

Denizens of /prog/, please take my advice and realise that you are wasting your life by worshipping this ancient, forgotten text and its creator.

Thank you.

FUCKING WELCOME THE BITCHES TO THE FUTURE SAGE.

SAGE THE BITCHES TO THE FUCKING WELCOME FUTURE.

I read the title ``A critique of Abelson and Sussman,'' and closed xpdf in disgust.

>>52
Scheme is pig disgusting, my friend Philip Wadler is quiet right.

>>53
Philip Wadler is quiet
And he should remain quiet.

>>53
Programming is not about who is right, but who is left.

LISP

Oooh burn. You got so burnt >>53, you're going to need some ointment

>>57
Okay, you're asking for it.

If you're messing with my buddy, you're messing with his lambdas: http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/wadler/Pics/phillambdabig.jpg

hello im Simon the Haskellite join my community of nomads if you payme enough i will give you access to a private area of typechecking ;)

CANCER !!

THIS THREAD IS CANCER !!

«The book never lives up to all the hype surrounding it. In fact, of the over 50 people I know who had the misfortune to study out of it, none liked it. I imagine only a few crazy souls who care about nothing but dry computer languages theory would even consider this worth reading.

Recursion and information hiding via procedural/object code is nothing mysterious and is taught in all other CS classes, so the text adds nothing new. It merely retells the same old obvious programming techniques using a very poorly designed language (Scheme) and using completely uneducational examples. In short, this book is an overrated waste of time. If you are familiar with structured programming in a language like C++, you won't get anything new out of this. In fact, any topic presented here is better learned elsewhere, since the text is just one of those poorly written books that try to be encyclopedic at the expense of being interesting and thorough.»

Goddamn, he's right!

>>62
Now let's add all kinds of syntax and special cases to hide what is going on!

Have you read your SAMS TEACH YOURSELF SCHEME IN 24 HOURS today?

This is THE SUSSMAN,

My only friend, THE SUSSMAN.

SAGE FUCKING THE FUTURE, WELCOME TO BITCHES.

So isn't SICP good anymore?:(

>>68
THE SUSSMEN himself said that SICP is still "right on" despite being obsoleted by 6.01, so grab yourself a copy of SICP, learn some fucking Scheme and achieve satori. Fuck what THE SUSSMEN says, SICP is still relevant!

have you read your http://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/people/staff/dat/miranda/wadler87.pdf today?
