Racket has been under active development as a vehicle for programming language research since the mid-1990s, and has accumulated many features over the years. This article describes and demonstrates some of these features. Note that one of Racket's main design goals is to accommodate creating new programming languages, both domain-specific languages and completely new languages.[1]
Therefore, some of the following examples are in different languages, but they are all implemented in Racket. Please refer to the main article for more information.
The core Racket implementation is highly flexible. Even without using dialects, it can function as a full-featured scripting language, capable of running both with and without windows-native graphical user interface (GUI), and capable of tasks from web server creation to graphics.
