I thought that the compilded code would have fewer debugging information (source code location etc) or not able to use the stepper. I have not used the stepper in racket yet (but the stepper in gambit scheme which is really useful at least for a beginner like me). > By the way, I mentioned `raco make` because it sounded like you were > working on individual script files.

Yes that's right, I'm working on a simple executable unix script. My strategy to learn racket is to start as simple as possible and then extend the simple programms and learn more racket features by the way, for example packaging, using macros, contracts etc..

So for macro heavy code 'raco >> make' is the way to go.
