Agreed. In fact, I just added a wikipedia page with Racket code examples. Most of them come from Racket's main page, but I think it would be nice to add some practical and short applications of the kind "look what you can do in only 7 lines of Racket"... that's why I added the grep-like example... if you think that's ok, feel free to add your own... The page is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racket_features#Language_extensions I'll post more details on my modifications to the wikipedia article thread. _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users
