Yi, Most #lang languages implicitly create a module from the contents of the file. #lang racket/load, on the other hand, runs the contents of the file as top-level terms outside of any module. The provide form is not legal at the top level, as it is meaningless -- there's no module to provide things from. You need to either switch back to #lang racket or remove the provide, depending on what you're trying to accomplish.
