You crushed SICP and still aren't extremely comfortable with LISPs? That's worrisome. I'm in the process of working through SICP and hoping that there will be some kind of fundamental change in the way I think about code.

i can tell you that after going through only a few chapters of SICP, it radically changed the way i wrote code. i took the MITx 6.00X programming course after and was incredibly uncomfortable at using destructive methods (to give an exmaple), even though i used to write and think code in that way.
