Magic Racket author here. On one hand, it’s difficult to see such a big time investment into DrRacket and not think about what could have been if so many man-hours went into the language server instead... But on the other hand, many things from DrRacket can be reused as modules in the language server, so the work that goes into it is not “lost” for the ones that don’t use it directly. Also, what’s the biggest feature you miss from Magic Racket (and the language server by extension)? As far as I’m aware, the language server project doesn’t have a fixed set of goals and it grows rather organically. Maybe they would make use of this kind of feedback.

My first and only experience with MagicRacket was trying to run EOPL's code [1] (and failing), I filled this bug [1] and haven't tried again yet. Should MR work fine with other langs? I don't think it is stated on the docs anywhere if this is a supported feature. For instance, if I open a .scm (Scheme) file, Ctrl-P to switch to lang (MR mode) and launch a REPL, is it supposed to work fine? 1: https://github.com/mwand/eopl3 https://github.com/mwand/eopl3 2: https://github.com/Eugleo/magic-racket/issues/13 https://github.com/Eugleo/magic-racket/issues/13

  It should be fixed. Magic Racket works with other #langs as much as racket-langserver doe. That means, AFAIK, that if the #lang is configured correctly to work with DrRacket, it should work with the langserver as well.
