So I've decided to finally read SICP and achieve satori. But looking through the contents left me with a few questions.
http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book-Z-H-4.html#%_toc_start
Chapters 4 and 5, should I read them?
What do they mean by constructing a new language? Is it simply constructing something within the program or is it REALLY making a new language i.g. python, java, ect.
Register machines, should I learn them?
I just want to be able to design my programs well and find more elegant solutions. It seems like this book is what I need.
