Anyone wanna work through SICP with me? I tried a few years ago when I was picking up programming, but I was in over my head. I think I could swing it now. It'd be cool to learn Clojure after as well.

I'd be more than happy to do that 🙂 (Disclaimer, I've definitely already read it, but happy to revisit)

If you find Scheme a barrier, and/or want to use your web background, there is also a JS edition nowdays: https://github.com/source-academy/sicp. It uses small subsets of JS, and ends up implementing them, in same JS subset. And it lets you run code fragments interactively right inside the online book. They also have a "comparison" edition where you'll see both original Scheme and new JS, and any diffs in explanations + some commentary on the conversion. That might be overwhelming, or insightful, or both 😉
Feel free to ping me if you get stuck.
