You may or may not know that the authors of HTDP are all directly available on the PLT Discussion list located here:
http://list.cs.brown.edu/mailman/listinfo/plt-scheme/

Thursday, August 21, 2008
Programming language “paradigms” are a moribund and tedious legacy of a bygone age. Modern language designers pay them no respect, so why do our courses slavishly adhere to them? This paper argues that we should abandon this method of teaching languages, offers an alternative, reconciles an important split in programming language education, and describes a [...]
