Thank you everyone. I go so many good suggestions that I had to split the page into four pages;
"The Racket *[[language development toolchain]]* for [[Creating Languages]] includes the Racket language(s), command line tools, IDE and a range of packages to support developing languages." *[[language development toolchain]] * https://github.com/racket/racket/wiki/language-development-toolchain summarise the tools for language construction *[[Creating Languages]] * https://github.com/racket/racket/wiki/Creating-Languages https://github.com/racket/racket/wiki/Language-Design has Racket specific resources on creating language *[[Language Design]] *https://github.com/racket/racket/wiki/Language-Design Covers lists on language design including the HOPL papers, Lisp, smalltalk and other materials, including https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1981-08 *[[Example-Languages]]* https://github.com/racket/racket/wiki/Example-Languages I'm not particularly happy with the splits or arrangement so feel free to make suggestions - no matter how radical - or 'have at it' and have a go at editing. It's easy enough that I can do small edits using my phone while commuting - if you make a mistake it is easy to rollback. As I mentioned on slack the reason I do this is because it is easy, and I believe the dominance of GitHub means it will be how some programmers first come across Racket.
