Hello everyone! Should I install the regular or CS variant of Racket?

The CS variant is in beta. Use it if you don’t mind using things before they’re totally stable.

The release announcement for the soon-to-arrive Racket 7.6 is going to say, “Racket CS is ready for production use. We will work to further improve Racket CS before making it the default implementation, but it now consistently passes all of our integration tests and generally performs well.” https://github.com/racket/racket-lang-org/commit/ca46521ba140efa01fbfa3e2797d491120ed7eb3 Personally, I’ve been using the Racket CS betas on my laptop for the last several releases, and, which I’ve occasionally found a bug (that’s what betas are for), for the most part it has been smooth sailing, including working in DrRacket. On the other hand, I’ll probably wait another release cycle before switching to CS for the most important server I manage.
