I have also been using SICP in Scala for several iterations of a course on functional programming. The "Scala by Examples" document contains some chapters that go with the course (chapters 4 to 12, essentially) and that resemble the SICP material. Executable Scala code for all the material taught in the course is in the SVN repository, at: http://scalasvn.epfl.ch/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/scala/trunk/test/files/run/ See http://scala.epfl.ch/downloads/svn.html for an explanation how to browse the repository. The material is contained in the files Course-2002-*.scala, where the * gives the course week. Let me know what you think of it, and whether you'd have expressed some of the code differently.
