Just prototyping? Is the plan to throw it out and use something else for production? Why?

- nickmain 13y agoThe target platforms are iPad, Android Tablets and Web - so Racket cannot be the runtime platform without a lot of tangential work. I'm hoping that the prototyping can lead to Racket being the tools and authoring platform. Racket is a great environment for developing DSLs and graphical tools.
- gcr 13y agoJust as an aside, are you aware of Whalesong? http://hashcollision.org/whalesong/ http://hashcollision.org/whalesong/ It's a Javascript VM that interprets Racket bytecode. It's complete enough to run, eg. World/Universe games or render HTDP2e pictures. Might be useful for some of what you're doing.
- nickmain 13y agoThanks - yes I was aware. I thought that Whalesong was a Javascript code generator rather than a VM ? Unfortunately JS performance on iOS rules that out for our purposes.
