It’s good. I’ve only read the first two or three chapters so far. I’m not sure for many people the name reflects the contents. It’s more of a fugue on compositional systems. Obviously composition is a way to build flexible software, but in places it is a bit detached from practical applications typical developers face. That’s not to say that it’s not practical, just that things like the combinator system in chapter 1 aren’t really presented as a solution to a real world problem. It’s not really contrasted to the alternative, and iirc there’s no final program built from the combinators they make which was a little disappointing. Being a long time fan of Sussman though the contents are exactly what I was expecting, and why I bought it, so no real complaints from me.
