You probably know this, but for others reading along, Racket has a #lang sicp language to fully support using Racket to follow along.

Alternatively, install MIT Scheme (*nix/macOS): https://www.gnu.org/software/mit-scheme/


If MIT Scheme runs on your computer, great. IIRC, SICP support was added to DrRacket with the idea that it would be more accessible to new students (runs on more computers, student-oriented IDE that's less-intimidating than something Emacs-ish).
