The heck is Racket?
- kuschku 11y agoA scheme dialect formerly known as DrScheme or PLT Scheme
- ufo 11y agohttp://racket-lang.org/ http://racket-lang.org/
- mahmud 11y agoThe language that this site is written in.
- TazeTSchnitzel 11y agoHuh? Isn't HN written in Arc?
- lifthrasiir 11y agoLISP people likes to refer a language modification to a "language", partly because its lexical structure is so simple and its metaprogramming makes such modification easy. But yeah, Racket and Arc are only similar in the surface syntax.
- mahmud 11y agoRight, meant to say "the platform that powers this site". Arc itself is an interpreter written in Racket. The site runs on racket.
- barrkel 11y agoThe Arc compiler converts Arc expressions into Scheme (in the mzscheme dialect) as implemented by Racket.
