It'd almost be worth it to build in an evaluator for Scheme, just for SICP. Maybe someone will be able to do that as a plugin when the beta is released.

- ibdknox 14y agoit probably wouldn't even be that hard, actually - since you could model it pretty closely off of the Clojure one. Either way, though, it's definitely something that the plugin system will enable :)
- adambard 14y agoAwesome to hear. My secret hope is that a Lisp, possibly Clojure, can become a dominant teaching language, and then perhaps a popular industry one as well. Then there will be more Lisp work out there, which I think would be rad for programming in general.
- RaphiePS 14y agoMy school teaches Racket (http://racket-lang.org/ http://racket-lang.org/), and I know a lot of other schools do as well.
- seanmcdirmid 14y agoFrom what I've heard from the PLT people, they are definitely interested in bringing these experiences to Racket; hopefully experience with LightTable will provide some insight in how to do that.
- Locke1689 14y agoBy Racket here do you mean DrRacket?
- joelhooks 14y agoDrRacket is an IDE for the Racket language. I never really understood why it stopped being DrScheme, or why Racket looks a LOT like Scheme. Then I read this http://racket-lang.org/new-name.html http://racket-lang.org/new-name.html
- Locke1689 14y agoYeah, I was asking if the experience he was talking about was an editing one.
