The second edition of SICP uses Scheme (there were two editions with Scheme). The new edition uses Javascript.
The second edition uses JavaScript I thought? Unless there’s also a python edition
There’s an unofficial Python version floating around, but you’re better off with one of the Scheme versions.
I like the Scheme version :) haven’t worked through the newer one. I do understand their impetus for it though (even if I personally don’t agree with it).
