Wow. I like the design.
I like that the design is not similar to the circle in The Hudsucker
Proxy: "You know. For kids!"
Sidenote:
Lately my Twitter feed says people like Phil Hagelberg (aka
Technomancy) and John Carmack (makes some games?) are teaching their
kids how to code using Rack

Since the topic is expanding further away from "try", I may also add that
even though native Linux, Liitin also has an html5 web interface. It
provides a personal cloud desktop and storage with Racket integration, and
you can also share Racket code easily.

That’s awesome; I wasn’t aware of WeScheme or Bootstrap World. I wish I knew
about Bootstrap earlier - I would have tried to convince a teacher in my
district to attend this week’s workshop.
I like the idea of saving programs through a Google account, and adding an IDE
shouldn’t be too diff

I’m not sure, but that would be awesome :)
Off the top of my head, would need to persist user sessions. Add a way for
users to save and access their code - so probably a database and user accounts.
I could add a save function to the REPL, but that would defeat the purpose of
the REPL - so wo
Thanks! I mean for it to be an alternative for kids, and not a replacement
for try-racket.org. The Quick Guide is an awesome tutorial for evaluating
Racket, but my daughters struggled with it. How do you write something simple
enough for people with no programming experience, without boring ex
Thanks for the compliment!
I’ll publish a couple of blog posts later today, which detail how I use nginx
to proxy the web server requests, and daemontools to manage it.
Best,

Without comparing one to the other, I really like it.
What I'd like to do, personally, for the next time I run a PL course (where
I do a rapid run through the foundations of HtDP to introduce the language)
is be able to develop a series of tutorials that leverage a framework like
this. Coupled wit
Oh wow! This is quite lovely. Definitely an improvement so far, in my book.
I believe that the one included in try-racket is mostly based upon the
Quick Guide: http://docs.racket-lang.org/quick/ The examples are largely
similar, I think just a few things were tweaked or abbreviated.
The state of
Thank you!
They are enjoying Racket - Realm of Racket is a phenomenal book.
