[racket-users] Racket for web apps

[Kaylen Wheeler]

Hi,

I'm new to Racket, but not to lisp.  I have been a Clojure user for some time.  
I began developing a web game in clojure/clojurescript, but I am considering 
switching languages.

How good is Racket for web-related development?

Thanks

One thing I would like to do is have a single code base shared between the 
server back end and the in-browser front end.  The front end would have to be 
in javascript.  I know there's a way to compile racket to JS, but can the code 
be shared.

Also, can *typed* racket code be shared this way?

It's great. Check out the various libraries of the web-server. I'd
suggest starting from web-server/servlet-env and web-server/dispatch.
