Insta buy. I love my SICP book. Need this for fun, perspective to teach juniors, and shelf art.
Yes, I pre-ordered.
For those complaining about it being in JS, probably didn’t read SICP as it wasn’t about LISP. This isn’t about JS.

That's precisely why it shouldn't be in JS.
Edit: to clarify, javascript is full of random warts that you have to know about in order to use it effectively, that's why I think a language with less such warts would be more suitable for someone that wants to try out and use the ideas book introduces with caring too much about the language.
In what sense?
JS REPL and dev tools are also far better than almost anything outside of Common Lisp.
