> Writing non-sexp languages in Racket tends to take a lot more work that's not batteries included. No more work than any other language - Racket has reclusive descent, lex/yacc and PEG parsers generators. There is a whole section on parsers at http://docs.racket-lang.org/ http://docs.racket-lang.org/ including ‘Megaparsack’ based on higher-order parser combinators (like parsec for Haskell) Racket can also read ‘C’ yacc/bison grammars. It’s worth noting that a variety of non-Lisp-parenthesis-languages have been done in Racket including Java and Python.
