I want to read SICP but I don't want to learn Scheme. Let's face it, who uses Scheme for any applications. Are there any translations to more applicable languages like Ruby, Javascript, or PHP?
>>1 who uses Scheme for any applications.
It depends, you can't do much in R5RS Scheme. But, Scheme (and SML) are the standard in CS, because their syntax is clear doesn't get in the way. (Fuck you, ``in Lisp'' troll, nobody cares of your uneducated opinion)
SICP's knowledge is universal, if you can't apply it to inferior languages by yourself, you probably shouldn't even read it.

Lisp syntax is horrible and you should apoptose yourself for thinking otherwise.
Fuck you ((faggot))! You're full of complete shit even LISPers themselves agree that their language doesn't reach the masses because of syntax. The syntax is horrible. GET OVER IT!
