> An optimistic professor somewhere has been feeding SICP to undergrads who are not ready for it.

In my very fist undergrad class, this was the course textbook. I generally think that I and some others taking the class at that time didnt value it so much, but going forward (especially after the class) I feel like what it talked about is a lot more important than I initially thought. I think that the professors made the right decision, though, giving us the book that early because even though I didnt appreciate the book so much then, I think that I absorbed a lot of its ideas into the way that I code.



+1 same here.
