There is also SICP in org-mode [1], where you can evaluate scheme code while reading. But it is nice to see TeXmacs use as well :)

that's the one I am following right now, as you said, the fact I can C-c C-c to eval code on org-babel is pretty incredible.

Related, in 2001 or earlier, Lytha Ayth somehow converted the HTML edition of SICP to GNU TeXinfo.

So that it could be used by students on modest computers that couldn't manage a Web browser and running Scheme at the same time:

As part of this, they redrew the figures in SICP as ASCII art (not as something like TeX figures), which I guess made sense for those requirements. Though today I like the idea of using proper markup for figures.

Another interactive SICP discussed on HN 10 years ago:

SICP was one of my course texts and introduction to the scheme language. It is a masterpiece of a computer science book with a staggering breadth of applications.
