I liked the scheme/gui example (although it should be changed to racket/gui). I think the world example should either go or be rewritten as a self-contained racket program (add the necessary require). Slideshow might be another good hello-world variant: #lang slideshow (slide (t "Hello world!")) (slide (t "Well, good-bye.")) -- Another thing to consider is do we want complete programs (executable with racket or gracket, use #lang) or do we want repl-pasteable examples? Trying to paste a #lang-based example into a racket repl would probably frustrate a casual reader who says "sounds cool, let's try that example." Ryan
