Just in case, you might want to check out Racket's places and futures
constructs.

I've heard that half-life waswritten in a versino of Lisp. But the
battles in half-life tend to be short, so they explicitly called the

First of all, the first field I am interested in Computer Science can

Before I chose Racket, I used C and Java/ActionScript at work.
now Racket is the major one (among all languages not only lisp dialects) in
my life.

On Racket, CL, limits, programmers...
I've found that most stuff can be done in Racket, and, though I have
used CL when required by two consulting clients' prior implementation
choices, I'm not aware that CL has any key advantages over Racket. (Not
bashing CL; it's a nice platform, with an un
I received a direct reply from Doug.
If you're strictly comparing Racket to other Lisp dialects, I would say there
is never any reason to go to a different Lisp dialect. The main exception would
be if there is some specific, existing capability in a different language that
you require. But, that
I think he's asking, when would you *not* use racket for something?
What problems is it particularly suited towards, and what areas is it
weak in?
I'd also like to know how the list would answer this.

Hi
Just getting reacquainted with Racket going back through HTDP 2nd edition and
the edx intro course.
Is there a point where you would say yeah Racket shouldn't go there, it's best
at A B or C you should go to Chez, Sbcl, CCL etc.
