What Hacker News says
2 sourcesWhile being a general purpose programming language, Racket is intended for Language Oriented Programming[1]. I was looking at Lisp Game Jam 2018's submissions when i stumbled on this game https://euhmeuh.itch.io/lisp-vs-blub-empire. The author made a throwaway language by wrapping Web Assembly intermediate language into racket using less than 250 lines of code[2]. This is what Racket is really about; an environment to quickly create a specific programming language for a specific problem[3].
