It's usually the case that I'm just missing something obvious, but when I have a file that just creates a place that prints something and I run it in DrRacket, I see the thing printed after a slight pause, but when I run the file with the racket executable from the command line, I don't see anything. Just to make sure it wasn't some output-port difference, I also had this code:
(require racket/place) (define p (place x (system "touch /tmp/file"))) and sure enough, when run from DrRacket that file gets created, but not when run from the command line. Can someone explain what I'm missing?
