It is all there. See for yourself: http://docs.racket-lang.org/guide/index.html Nice features: Racket programs run without change on Windows, OS X, and, Linux. The GUI library binds to native backends so everything looks native. The docum

Hi. OpenShift is also interesting. And if you need something to hack on, see https://github.com/RayRacine/rackos Almost there.

If you squint a little the ^ looks like a lambda with the top missing. The syntax thus makes sense to me. Whether to write: hello = lambda (name) { "Hello " + name } hello = ^ (name) { "Hello " + name } hello = function (name) { "Hello " +

First of all both Common Lisp and Scheme are excellent languages with impressive implementations to choose between. Furthermore if you learn one of them, you'll be able to learn the other one in no time. Instead of comparing languages, I'd

Hi Suraj, Consider filing a feature request. Once upon a time you could use ctrl+uparrow to get the previous expression in the interaction windows. I don't know, why that keybinding disappeared. Perhaps it was just an oversight?
