Is SICP overrated? Do you think FIOC is a good idea?

Let's hear some differing opinions!

1. Yes, but it is still a classic. A must read.
2. It never was. The language was spun out of sheer frustration from Guido not being able to read code with regular expressions. Because of that, he made a language of his own to force everyone to use one style of writing code. Think of it how Pascal was made, as a ``solution'' and _indoctrination_ to write code well. It had its merits on teaching proper grammar, and being conscience for the next reader, but to that point. That is why C and Scheme or Common Lisp will still beat the 2, because they were meant for actual practical programming and reading. All it depends on the user, you.

It would be best to call them what they are, ruthless plutocracts.
