SICP – Why use accumulate with cons when filter already passes back a list
In SICP 2nd Edition section 2.2.3,
the authors have the following code:
Practical reference for learning about graph reduction
Are there any practical references (with actual examples) for getting started implementing a small, lazy functional programming language with graph reduction? A reference that included the lexing and parsing steps would be especially helpful.
How can Lisp produce an iterative process from a recursive procedure?
I am starting to learn Lisp, using the SICP book. The authors mention that a procedure (i.e. function) can be recursive or iterative. Additionally, the process those procedures will generate will also be recursive or iterative, and that, surprisingly, a recursive procedure can sometimes generate an iterative process.

What features does MIT-Scheme have that make it ideal for SICP?
I’ve been thinking about trying to get through the SICP again, this time well-armed with a better idea of what the SICP is meant to accomplish, and being older and wiser than my first attempt back in university. I’ve been told by old hands that the MIT Scheme is the only scheme I should think about using, and that other schemes lack features that make the SICP harder to accomplish. “There’s a reason all the ‘SICP-in-X’ end with chapter 3. Other languages can’t support what’s in chapter 4.”
