You could probably try this if you wish to return those days: racket -vl racket/base -e '(read-eval-print-loop)' For me that starts up about 4x faster (.1 second vs .4 seconds, but on a machine that has warm caches) than this: racket -vl racket/base -e '(read-eval-print-loop)' which is roughly an explicated version of the no-command-line arguments "racket".
