> It makes Racket look hip. And that's hard to do. Hey!

• brudgers 12y ago
  Credit where credit is due. Racket is moving forward, and that has required solving the same issues I mentioned with Common Lisp. And the Racket Community is doing it from the ground up in ways that are likely to scale...e.g. Scribble. In particular, the new default CSS for Scribble is a vast improvement. But racket-lang.org isn't as sexy as clojure.org, and pending an influx of commercial cash probably won't be. The Racket community tends to row in the same direction and does so by consensus, and that makes it's social structure potentially as hip as any open source project. If there was a Racket on Treads for building CRUD, who knows how much use it would see inside the local Starbucks.

    Is there something in particular you find "unsexy" about racket-lang.org? Personally, I like it a lot more than clojure.org, but that may just be because I wrote it. :) I've always found the official Clojure web presence to be somewhat staid, by comparison to Scala or Python.
