Yeah, but I've basically never seen anybody suggest that Racket is a great language for prod.

- zhemao 13y agoNaughty Dog has used Racket as a scripting language in several of their video games for the PS3.
- ANTSANTS 13y agoSlightly misleading, they don't actually run Racket on the PS3. IIRC, they created a DSL for game logic in Racket and wrote a special compiler for that DSL. That's still a good example of a "real" program written in Racket, but it doesn't prove that Racket is a good choice for programs that need all the resources they can get.
- zhemao 13y agoAh, I didn't realize that. Very interesting.
- zhemao 13y agoAlso, Hacker News is written in Arc, which runs on the Racket runtime. It handles quite a bit of traffic every day. It's an ugly-ass buggy website, but that is largely to do with the implementation and PG's propensity for live-modifying production sites in the REPL and not the runtime itself.
