I wasn't trying to flamewar, but my post was kind of snarky and I should have expanded upon it. It's just that when I see something like "SICP in teh script" I can't but question the value of that, since much of the elegance and staying power of SICP is inseparable from the fact that it was designed for a homoiconic language with simple syntax and easy metacircularity.
