I just want to suggest the idea that it's positive for the promotion
of Racket to have many usage examples, even if it's stuff not
particularly easy or special to do in Racket.
Something I think we've all seen with technology marketing (yeah, I
said the m-word): When I've built something, there's

I see what you mean. Racket makes it hard to find those kind of
excuses: if you don't like or miss something, you can always go and
change it. How many languages

Not even using lexer/parser generators... hats
up! (and shrivers down my spine...) ;)

Hi there!
I'm just starting to learn Racket. One of the thing that I appreciate
most so far is the language extensibility (IMHO, the feature that
makes it so unique compared to other languages...). So, when I
couldn't find anything like python's raw string syntax (strings
introduced by r'') or c#'
