Is there a (relatively) simple way to run the DrRacket REPL outside of DrRacket? I’m looking at being able to use custom read and eval functions and have the ability to print values or display snips.

Displaying snips will require large amount of the framework at a minimum

Time to dig into the text% docs.

Is there a ‘inside racket’ seminar or paper that covers the architecture of DrRacket & Framework?

(Every time I read the source I feel like it is trying to drive me insane)

Apart from using racket/base and $ raco make $TARGET.rkt what else can be done to speed up Racket scripts?

Hello everyone :slightly_smiling_face: I’m somewhat new to Racket, but I do have some experience with functional programming. I use Racket for some research programming (discrete dynamical systems like Boolean/multivalued networks, set rewriting, etc.), and I hope to be able to give back to the Racket community

My previous favourite language was Haskell (I still like it quite a bit), but I find that Racket gives me more power to express my thoughts right now

Welcome @scolobb-slack! Coming from Haskell, you should find the world is your oyster here. I use Racket at home at some at work, I mainly use Scala at work, and I’m learning Haskell to make my Scala better.

@samth We talked about Typed Racket and structure type properties on the mailing list. I’ll be available to chat in about 13h (tomorrow in my timezone), and at other times later :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks @gknauth :slightly_smiling_face: You seem to be using the most exciting functional languages of the moment :+1:

Yeah, there’s really no end to the fun you can have with Racket, always on the move, always improving.
