Not quite string interpolation, but Racket also has (~a ...) with variable
number of arguments, which I find convenient:
E.g.
(define x 5)
(define y 6)
(~a "x is " x
" and y is " y
" and x + y = " (+ x y))
; "x is 5 and y is 6 and x + y = 11"

The separation of a Guide is good for a read-through, like on the train,
when first exposed to a system. *But*, for

I noticed the separate
The racket documentation is organized into two documents. One that is
intended to be the useful, commonly-used bits (called the guide) and
one is intended to be comprehensive, showing every possibly knob and
button (called the reference). If you don't know about that, it can be
easy to flip into

Sorry -- realized I missed your last paragraph. I like other people's
suggestions so far and will try to write up more later.

Has anyone written a guide for someone familiar with Clojure to get up to
speed quickly with Racket?
If not, I'd be willing to collaborate on writing one, if you'd be willing to
spend a day or two showing me how to do things in Racket.
Here's why I'm asking. I wrote a bunch of code in Clojure
