Racket branch of Chez Scheme merging with mainline Chez Scheme

Is it a good idea to use Chez Scheme to go over SICP? Meaning, is it still standard to enter into compatibility mode to do so? Thanks.

We made Racket support for SICP, which is the next best thing to using MIT Scheme for SICP:

(SICP Scheme isn't quite standard, and there's also some SICP-specific libraries.)

It's been a long time since I went through SICP, so someone with more recent knowledge should correct me. But I think you can get through most (almost all?) of SICP with what's in the Scheme standard, which is a pretty small subset of almost any Scheme implementation. In particular, I don't recall much that uses anything specific to MIT Scheme.
