Re: peasant revolt against DrScheme!




P.S. For years, the Rice Engineering School has taught its own C/C++ based
introductory course because they didn't like the Department's Scheme course.
Indeed, students could not get credit for the Scheme course. 

We didn't encourage students from this alternative course to take our
second course, which we too taught in C++ until two years ago. But, even
our hard-core systems faculty members who kind of agreed with the
engineering school and who taught this second course several times came to
me and told me that Scheme/HtDP students were better prepared for the C/C++
course than C/C++ students.
