When I have students write large programs, my Racket programs are routinely a factor of 3 or more shorter than those of the best of my students (5Kloc in Racket vs 15Kloc in Java or C# or C++), tend to perform more tasks, and are more stable. > it is important for students to be able to keep the code very neat, That is true in all languages, period. 3. > Since drracket ... compiles one line after another, ... DrRacket does not compile line by line. Indeed, lines have nothing to do with compilation. Please take a look at HtDP's extended exercises on interpreting Scheme. That'll give you an idea of what compilation is and why lines are irrelevant. -- Matthias _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users
