Wow, I can't believe I've never heard of this book (SICM, not the wizard book). Seems incredibly cool.
That said, I'll maintain that my initial skepticism was somewhat justified given that the derivation relies on a pre-written symbolic manipulation/solver library (scmutils) so it's not quite 'from scratch' in a Lisp ;) although I believe that you could write such a library yourself, as SICP demonstrates.
As a side note, it looks like I can't go through this book because I have an M1 Mac, which GNU Scheme doesn't support :(
