Hello, almost year ago I've become interested in Racket, but due to several reasons it did fall by the wayside. :-(
Recently I decided to migrate most of my tool-chain to Emacs (editor, org-mode, Gnus...) and then, naturally, when considering about learning some Elisp, I've remembered my past encounter with Racket which in the past did happen since I was looking for adequate language for multi-platform GUI app and Racket is one of the few modern and higher-level languages to provide 1st class support for it. There is, of course, Scribble[1] to write high-quality documentation (I'll also try to provide Scribble support for writing web content in Nikola -- python-powered static-site-generator). Lastly, when preparing slide-presentation for my wife (medicine), I did use LyX/LaTeX/Beamer, but considered to switch to ConTeXt in order to avoid having same-Beamer-look when I have found out about Slideshow library which means that by moving to and learning Racket I'll be able to write GUI app, write docs, web content and prepare nice presentations - everything just within the scope of single language! Here I do not want to mention that Racket has wonderful ecosystem - package manager (btw, I'd like to see some support for using Fossil DVCS repos), building stand-alone executables etc. So, at the end I just wonder how is it that such Wonderland is not discovered by much more people? Thanks to all who help creating these wonders. ;) Sincerely, Gour Footnotes: [1] I still consider to make use of Pollen! -- A self-realized man has no purpose to fulfill in the discharge of his prescribed duties, nor has he any reason not to perform such work.
