As I’m doing the SICP exercises, I realise that I’ve actually gone through some of this back in uni (20 years ago, wow). What strikes me is how unexcited I was about this material back then.
I went to uni right out of high school, and I was so confused about life and who I was that I was clearly not in the right mindset to fully benefit from the education (I actually went to study engineering because the two things I liked were computers and drawing, and I got rejected from art school)
Now, 20 years later, this material fascinates and excites me, and I’m very glad I found my way back to it!
@gosha About 12 years ago, I did almost all exercises in SICP. It was well worth it. There are a few that I glossed over and want to revisit, but now that it has been so long, I will probably read and work through it again.
