This is the weekend, and I'm off the clock.
I think there is a balance to be achieved in advocacy/evanglism, but I
get tired of it, especially when it gets one hung up arguing minutiae
that people found boring years ago.
Are we really arguing about slowness, WITH JAVA PROGRAMMERS? (Do they
If we want Racket to become used by more people in industry I think we should

Maybe change "Draw more pictures" to "Begin by drawing pictures"?
(I suspect many people will jump quickly to that paragraph, and "Draw
more pictures" is not only a little confusing, but that toy-looking
tutorial will be a letdown for a lot of people. I say "Begin" both to
