I'm simply amazed by Racket. It stands out because while it is developed by academics and based on a language with a history of caring more about the language than solving real problems it comes with excellent documentation, good performance and decent libraries including unsexy things like a GUI toolkit.
- zelphirkalt 6y agoI agree with you about the positive points of Racket. I would note however, that being developed by academic greats and being based on that language is exactly what enables it to stand out. It is usually academics, who innovate in PLT and come up with new elegant concepts, that one can use to tackle lots of challenges.
