Query: not too bad, but completely useless

This book is readable. I can't say it's fun or easy to understand, but a *few* concepts might seem interesting. However, the large majority of things introduced can't be applied. Streams, for example, are introduced to alleviate the bottlenecks created by Scheme in conjunction with poor code planning earlier in the book. They are completely irrelevant to languages like C/C++. The same with other things here. Mildly curious but nothing useful and certainly no profound theories, as some would have you believe.
