I loved this same course (spring '87 for me), but I wasn't impressed with the speed. I came away thinking Scheme was for fun and C was for practical programming. I've come around since then, and I don't have any performance concerns about my Scheme-based web site.

What is your scheme-based website? Is it ourdoings or something else? Just curious because there aren't a lot of them out there that I know of.

OurDoings is it. I still use the "wishful thinking" programming methodology I learned from SICP. I'm married with 3 kids and a separate day job, and don't think I could have pulled this off using a less programmable programming language.

That's cool. Could I interview you about developing web apps using Scheme? I'm working on a blog post / interview on the topic w/ all the people I know who do Scheme web development.

Anyway if you are interested I'd love to hear from you, my email is: idoh@idoh.com
