Hi, I recently found Racket when I was searching some tutorials about Lisp and Metaprogramming. I really like that the community around DrRacket seems to be very much interested in education, making talks and tutorials even for childerens. The doc pages https://docs.racket-lang.org/ seems to be best what I found up to now in Lisp-world.
What I'm missing however is some example codes which I can just simply download, load in DrRacket, run, and see what it does (without copying it step by step from doc-pages). This is my favourite way of learning - reverse-engineering finished cool demos. I don't like reading tutorials step-by-step. I like just browsing over code examples and see what is interesting. I was searching for some time to find some links e.g. to github-repositories with example codes for Racket, but I did not found almost anything usefull (easily accessible, easy to make i run). Maybe you know processing (https://processing.org/), it is in some aspects similar to DrRacket - It tries to bring programming to non-programmers (e.g. arts, humanities) - It has own minimalistic IDE to make it easier for people but unlike DrRacket it has huge amount of example codes packed within the standard instalation, (see attached picture). I think it would be great addition to DrRacket, exactly in direction of what you try to achieve.
