I wish that I had known about rackunit earlier. What other
'adult' features of Racket should people would you recommend to
readers of HtDP?
All the `for' loops come to mind; the `for*' loops in particular are far
more readable than nested maps and folds.
Functional hash tables, if HtDP doesn't already cover them.
Advanced macros: using syntax-case, syntax-parse, syntax parameters,
lifts, and local expansion.
Typed Racket to statically enforce contracts, and for performance.
