Love this approach! Lisp people always bemoan the fact that the SICP/Susman approach is no longer taught at university - in favor of the more popular python approach -and I think this is a great way to revitalize that. Clojure has the benefit of being built on an actually useful ecosystem, unlike Racket, which took up the reins in education after the death of Scheme at MIT. And they build a prolog system it seems? 10/10 wish I had this course in college

Might be a good weekly virtual meetup to go thru this course. I’ll think about possibly doing that.

Good to see this activity at a school. Maybe someone can reach out to the professor and get him to give a talk on some topic at an upcoming Meetup?
