It's great! But I can't find a way to actually chech the exercises or try some of my own. Does anyone know where I can get a program to complile / run / or simulate scheme on my Windows laptop? thanx hey, I just started reading this great book after a few tearchers of mine recomended it to me.

With the current revival of old languages (Erlang, Haskell, Clojure, ...) and programming paradigms it sometimes feels like OO is a defect as well. “This was published 26 years ago” and we still work with these defective, non-tail-recursive languages.

Your SICP tweets got me talking about the text with a colleague who talked me into downloading all the videos. "They will blow your mind" he tells me. After watching the first two videos, I find it amazing how timeless these lectures are. Can't wait to get further into them. When they show the students it's fun to wonder if they go on to have successful careers in software development or got as far away as possible from CS afterwards. Ha.
