I really hope that there would not be a PHP edition of SICP.
>>1 if ONLY....
that would be incredible
At least JavaScript and PHP are real languages. It could be worse. They could have used a useless toy language like Scheme.
It's too bad that SICP's Creative Commons license allows heretics to legally create and distribute deviant editions of The Book.
I guess something without functions as objects.
Oof the possibilities are limitless...
I propose C
I propose vimscript
Stop raping the Good Book!

Structure and Interpretation of Vim Plugins, aka SIVP.

This would have prevented the desecration of the book:

However, for proselytization, the CC BY-ND 4.0 license [1] would be more appropriate. The existing CC BY-SA 4.0 license [2] is a grave danger because it encourages heresy and schisms. Scheme must remain the sole liturgical language of SICP.

pure cult fanaticism

And I like it!
The BASIC version would be the fucking worst. Bonus points if it's one of those older versions that hardly supported structured programming.
On an opposite note, what language (non-lisp) would SICP translate best into? I'd go for TCL.

Cults and Scheme
Things are seldom what they seem
Skim milk masquerades as cream

I wonder if FORTH would be a good candidate.
I propose bash and POSIX sh.
PHP edition of SICP
