HN comment order

I really enjoyed the section on symbolic data in SICP https://xuanji.appspot.com/isicp/2-3-symbolic.html - gives lots of good insight to start thinking about how automatic differentiation is implemented in the deep learning libraries.

It's good to hear that this project is getting the attention that it deserves. I have been reading SICP using this text for the last several months and found it much easier for me, as I can immediately see and play around with the Scheme code. When I was learning Python, the same was true using the interactive version of "How to think like a computer programmer". http://interactivepython.org/runestone/static/thinkcspy/inde...
