I am sharing an opinionated configuration for VS Code that should suffice to work through Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP).

I have owned SICP for a decade or more and am giving it another go.

I (re)started it last weekend using the DrRacket editor, which is fine, but I spend most of my time in vs code. It was a jarring to use another editor.

So, in an evening of delightful bikeshedding, I now have a setup that should let me work through SICP in vs code. I thought I'd share this in case someone else is interested or has any feedback.

This is a barebones configuration with a lightly tested installation script that works on my machine!

I wanted to avoid installing a bunch of vs code extensions and was able to get this working with only a single extension to add scheme support to vs code.

Any feedback is welcome and I hope someone gets some use out of this!
