I have used Racket as my “go to” language a few times, perhaps for a month or two each time. For practical reasons, mostly which programming languages people are willing to pay me to use, I go back to Common Lisp or Python. This blog material reminds me of the Beautiful Racket [1] writing system, even though it is of course different. [1] https://beautifulracket.com/ https://beautifulracket.com/

> This blog material reminds me of the Beautiful Racket [1] writing system, even though it is of course different. You have a sharp eye. Beatiful Racket was written with Butterick's own Pollen system. The Pollen system was inspired by `Scribble` which is used to produce the Racket documentation (among other things). I am using my own `mathscribble` (better name is needed) also inspired by Scribble. I am using a different representation of both the decoded input text and of the produced html. It is geared towards texts with mathematical contents. All systems use the at-expr syntax for the input.
