Although I don't think there are docs to tests to written, you could try out RacketCS (= Racket on Chez Scheme) and report whatever problems you encounter. Aside from places and futures, RacketCS is supposed to work --- but you'll likely encounter problems even just building, and problem reports will be helpful. You can build RacketCS on a non-Windows platform by checking out the main Racket repo from https://github.com/racket/racket and running `make cs` in the checkout's top-level directory. Running `make cs` will clone a ChezScheme repo in "racket/src/build", build enough of a traditional Racket to bootstrap, build ChezScheme, and finally create a RacketCS executable in "racket/bin/racketcs". See "INSTALL.txt" for more information and for shortcuts if you already have recent Racket and/or Chez Scheme builds. If you're on Windows with Visual Studio, `nmake win32-cs` should almost work, but it will fail when trying to load "openssl" as part of the build process. I hope to fix that soon. There's no need to report problems like "it takes a long time to build" or "it takes a long time to load my program", since I know about those. :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Developers" group.
