If anyone has more substantial information or discussions about this, feel free to link it. 5 minutes on Google turned up very little.<p><a href="http://www.oreillynet.com/xml/blog/2006/11/scheme_out_python_in_mit.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.oreillynet.com/xml/blog/2006/11/scheme_out_python...</a><p>From what I recall, most of the examples from the first few lessons can be trivially rewritten in Python.

Interesting. All my friends at MIT absolutely hated Scheme after taking that class; I don't know what the general sentiment there is.

Who else is using Scheme for the intro course? Is it just Berkeley now? BTW, anyone know what Stanford uses for the intro sequence? Just kinda curious.
