I can&#39;t speak to the overall demand for this, but that&#39;s what I&#39;m teaching and I don&#39;t intend to change it.</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@dabeaz" class="u-url mention">@<span>dabeaz</span></a></span> are you teaching SICP in js or lisp? Just curious if demand is for one or the other these days.</p>
<p>On the whole, I&#39;d say I had a pretty busy year of teaching in 2024:</p><p>- Attempted to implement Raft 8 times.<br />- Wrote 5 compilers<br />- Wrote 2 interpreters in Rust.<br />- Taught SICP twice.<br />- Exploded heads 4 times in my advanced programming course.</p><p>Plus, taught the Programming Languages course with <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@shriramk" class="u-url mention">@<span>shriramk</span></a></span> at Brown this fall. </p><p>Hmmm. Maybe there&#39;s a reason why I haven&#39;t been blogging...</p>
<p>happy 2025. may your components exceed their rated specifications, and their errata be minimal</p>
<p>I&#39;m not the first to say this, but there&#39;ll be tough times ahead of us this year. We *will* get through it, and whatever your stance on new year&#39;s resolutions are, there&#39;s one we could all use.</p><p>Resolve not to be safe from your enemies, but to be dangerous to them. </p><p>Remind them that this cat has claws, this dog has teeth, and that we aren&#39;t afraid to bite the hand that feeds us if it&#39;s the same hand that strikes us.</p><p>Y&#39;all take care of each other out there and let&#39;s make 2025 a happy new year!</p>
