Yes, but I have to write C code outside of Racket. I'd like to be able to define a #lang in Racket that operates at the level of C (i.e. machine-level data types, no GC, etc.), and I'd like to generate specialized code in that low-level language from my standard Racket code. Lush (http://lush.sourceforge.net/) has something like that but it seems kind of dead now. A while ago I saw the annoucement for a new language called Terra (http://terralang.org/) that is a low-level complement to Lua, but I haven't taken a closer look yet.
