SICP


I've decided to work through SICP. So far, its reputation as a classic text that has withstood the test of time seems well deserved. I've been targeting one sub-chapter a week, so factoring in an extra 50% for distractions and presumed difficulty of later chapters, it will take me the remainder of the year to finish.

This post was incredibly useful in terms of setting up a good vim / tmux working environment with Racket as the language of choice: http://crash.net.nz/posts/2014/08/configuring-vim-for-sicp/. It seems like emacs may have better indentation support, but learning a new editor still escapes me.
