I have used it just fine in Java. "dependency injection" looks a lot like lists-of-lists...

And SICP talks about a lot more than any particular constructs. Its the sort of book you can come back to, and take what you need to go further.

I've recently actually done the latter, and gone back to SICP. Alas, it shows its age badly: it's too untyped for my tastes these days.

Yes, you can emulate dynamic typing in statically typed languages---but why would you want to if the static type system is expressive enough? (I can see how in Java dynamic typing might be the smaller hassle.)
