I appreciate the position, but I do think there is still value in being able to optionally carve off all the extra goodness and act like a more primitive Scheme to provide compatibility with various embedded options where full Racket isn't practical.
DrRacket is a key element of my strategy here - a cross platform IDE with brace matching, syntax highlighting, and a debugger makes Scheme a reasonable choice for an extension language. I think I can evangelize this in a way that wouldn't be possible if users' first experience was poking at code in Notepad. If anyone wants to tell me "Racket is easy to embed in an Android app!" I would love to hear it, but I'm a little too intimidated to have a crack at it myself, versus Chibi or various other small Schemes that are just a few files of C code.

Let me rephrase Matthew. Racket is only related to Scheme. See http://racket-lang.org/new-name.html for an explanation of our move. Our understanding is that the Scheme community wants to move back to a world where the language is small while Racket wants to move to a world where programmers can easily create programs. -- Matthias On Jun 11, 2015, at 3:22 PM, John Carmack wrote: How do you include a racket module in an R6RS program? I have remote.rkt in the same directory as test.scm. With R5RS I could do (#%require "remote.rkt"), but that doesn't work, and I tried various things in the (import) statement without success. Are there any plans for an R7RS lang in Racket? I am trying to write code that runs in both DrRacket and Chibi scheme. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
