"Source", sublanguages of JavaScript, for SICP

Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs - Wikipedia

"a computer science textbook by Massachusetts Institute of Technology professors Harold Abelson and Gerald Jay Sussman with Julie Sussman. It is known as the "Wizard Book" in hacker culture.[1] It teaches fundamental principles of computer programming, including recursion, abstraction, modularity, and programming language design and implementation."

Source is a family of languages, designed for the textbook Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, JavaScript Adaptation (SICP JS) and supported by the Source Academy system. The languages are called Source §1, Source §2, Source §3 and Source §4, corresponding to the respective chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the textbook. Each previous Source language is a sublanguage of the next, and all Source languages are sublanguages of JavaScript. (Chapter 5 does not require any features beyond Source §4.) This webpage contains the description of the Source languages and the libraries they come with.
