Thanks for your feedback, I'm glad you like it! I'm reading through the SICP right now and I'll definitely use it as inspiration for future chapters.
The trickiest thing I've found so far is that, for simplicity, I've explained def as a function that takes a symbol and a value as arguments. I've then gone on to say that arguments to a function are evaluated before the function itself executes, which is true in general of course but not for special forms, like def. I don't really want to get into special forms vs functions right in the first chapter so for now I've just glossed over it and hoped no-one will notice :) Do you guys have any ideas on other ways to tackle it? // Pascal.
