Just use Racket! (Racket uses the Chez compiler)
- mark_l_watson 3y agoI often do. I actually like the IDE, sometimes using it instead of Emacs with the Racket support.
- gorjusborg 3y agoThis interaction illustrates my thought on the wisdom of supporting two language 'profiles'. It seems like the 'small' profile matches what I expect from Scheme's brand: useful minimalism. The 'large' profile seems off-brand. I get why it would be useful to have a Python-like experience (where 80% of problems can be solved with the stdlib), but doesn't that describe Racket? I'm not suggesting that a batteries included standard Scheme would be a bad thing. It's just that it pretty much already exists (Racket started as a Scheme).
