racket

We have hosted the application racket in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about racket:

Racket is a general-purpose programming language and an ecosystem for language-oriented programming. This repository holds the source code for the core of Racket plus some related packages. The rest of the Racket distribution source code is in other repositories, mostly under the Racket GitHub organization. Racket programmers typically program with functions, records, objects, exceptions, regular expressions, modules, and threads. That is, instead of a �minimalist� language, which is the way that Scheme is often described, Racket offers a rich language with an extensive set of libraries and tools. Libraries are not restricted to exporting values, such as functions; they can also define new syntactic forms. In this sense, Racket isn�t exactly a language at all; it�s more of an idea for how to structure a language so that you can extend it or create entirely new languages.

Features:

• Racket includes a rich set of libraries, covering the full range from web server apps to mathematics and scientific simulation software
• Racket is a mature and stable product
• From the beginning, it has supported cross-platform graphical programming (Windows, macOS, Linux)
• In Racket, programmers define their own loops with powerful macros. Indeed, these macros are so powerful that programmers make entire domain-specific languages as libraries
• Racket is the first language to support higher-order software contracts and safe gradual typing
• Racket comes with support for major editors

Programming Language: Scheme.
