Yes! SICP is, without a doubt, one of the very best books on programming I have ever read and I’ve read quite many. I too program a lot in JavaScript and Python (in addition to Rust and C and C++), so some might think SICP would not be relevant just because it’s using Scheme but in fact SICP has had a very significant impact on how I write software.

SICP is a book that I took my time to read. I read the whole thing front to cover. Some days I would read many pages some days fewer pages. I read a lot of it on a vacation. Don’t remember if I got through the whole thing then or if it took even more time.

SICP was so good that I plan on reading it again.

I recommend looking at the exercises and thinking about them a bit but like the other guy said don’t get bogged down by them.
