- tmm84 6y agoI second this. It works on win/mac/linux. There is loads of readable documentation on the internet (lots of technical theory in it too but IMO easy enough to understand in comparison to Haskell). The Dr. Racket editor is nice and the features it provides are really helpful. I can't do it enough justice in a comment. If you wanted a scheme/lisp-like language that does some hand holding this may be worth looking into.
- fioawjpoifajio 5y agoI tried this, but it doesn't have basic CLI tooling like an autoformatter or an LSP, which are very useful when getting started in a language.
- cpach 5y agoHm. I learned programming in large parts thanks to The Little Schemer, SICP and Scheme/Racket. LSP wasn’t a thing then and it worked fine anyway. Much of the code I wrote (and evaluated manually) was on paper. Regarding the autoformatter... Not sure if Racket really needs that since the syntax is so simple. But maybe it would be an improvement.
