I am using Racket as a scripting language for Vim. I believe that the number of people who use Racket instead of VimL is not very small. I live in a town with 60 inhabitants, and at least 40 persons use Racket to script Vim. Therefore, I wonder whether the new release of Racket will be compati

I didn't respond to this thread originally because I believe that Racket is generally "anti-stubbing". The concept of a "racket project" basically doesn't exist, because everything is supposed to be "inside" the language. For instance, if you want to create a module with tests, then you just create
