Some people in their 60's do crossword puzzles to keep their mind sharp. I want to return to compiler hacking. I have experience with the ideas and code from many old compilers - MIT MacLisp and Rabbit (the grandfather of all Schemes), David Betz's Xscheme (shout out!), Texas Instruments Scheme. My 1980's home-brew byte-code compiler passed compliance tests and ran large existing Scheme programs. PLT Scheme existed but I never used it.
I want to run some of my old code and learn Racket at the same time. There will be problems: my declining technical chops, defmacro, and name collisions. I haven't programmed in many years. I haven't even written Hello World for Racket yet. I must be a fool. Is it feasible to use Racket to create an environment for my old scheme code? What forums/mailing-lists should I join? Will Google Groups continue to exist? I welcome any tips you might have. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
