hey all. I'm a somewhat experienced programmer trying to get started with lisps and functional-style programming. Is it worth the time investment to read SICP or HtDP if I already have a CS background?

lorikeet: I'd say yes.
<erkin>
HTDP is on a gradient from absolute beginner to competent programmer, so you can simply skip earlier parts.
<erkin>
SICP is a very good book on understanding the fundamentals of computer programming, which is a surprisingly underpublished field.
<erkin>
It uses a barebones Scheme to build up several high-level features that we take for granted.
<erkin>
I consider myself somewhat experienced and I found quite a few things in SICP that I didn't know I was lacking.

@erkin awesome, thanks for the advice :)
<erkin>
No problem. :-)
<erkin>
If you're looking into learning functional programming specifically, I'd go straight to SICP.
<erkin>
It shows the power of higher-order functions, closures, recursion etc.
<lorikeet>
cool, I'll def start there then
