aside from the fact SICP now has a javascript edition, if you pick a book that focuses on whatever random modern javascript/python programming language you're not really studying anything like the material in SICP.

SICP is more like studying the actual composition of wood itself than it is about tools. this is still important whether youre using new or old tools.

And because javascript has real lambdas and lexical closures, you probably lose less studying SICP in JS than you would in e.g. Python.
