I am using racket for building a small webapp, in random order my experience with it :
1 - Library discovery is hard, as kabash said, it really feels like a quantity over quality situation.
2 - Most of the documentation seems to be either targeted to very beginners, or are reference materials. I would love a series of tutorial sitting between the "racket guide" and the "racket reference" doc. Something that explains 'why' to use some of the language constructs as opposed to simply saying how to use them.
3 - Typed racket and the contract system are simply amazing : I think they should get much more screen time than what there are getting now.
4 - The web stack could use some improvements
- samth 10y agoFor the quantity over quality point, do you mean the standard library, or packages available on pkgs.racket-lang.org?
