This is wonderful. I have not read through everything, but the bits that I have read are well-written, insightful, and fun. I don’t know if a book like this is enough to get people interested in building DSLs, but if it isn’t, I’m not sure what is. I’m a tiny bit sad (or should I say “bummed out”?) that BR eschews syntax-parse for the simpler syntax-case patterns, but if that’s the only nit I can find to pick, it’s a good sign.
Most of what I could say has already been said by Matthew Flatt in the foreword, so I will not be redundant here, but I do want to thank you for your efforts to provide a wonderful resource for Racketeers both old and new. > On Mar 15, 2017, at 17:28, Matthew Butterick <m...@mbtype.com> wrote: > > I'm very pleased to announce that Beautiful Racket, my book about > making languages with Racket (that I spoke about at the last > RacketCon) is now officially released: > > http://beautifulracket.com > > Special thanks to chief amigo Matthew Flatt for writing a very kind > foreword. > > More broadly, thank you to everyone who has helped make Racket such a > fantastic and amazing tool.
