Hi all,
about the future of Racket... A professional fortune teller here. 2040 -- I clearly see #lang racket widely used, although there are many more #langs out there (which translate to #lang racket under the hood). The peak popularity of infix notational Racket has passed, now it's in the decline, but still widely used. Arithmetic expressions can be included in s-expression code by simply wrapping them with $ signs, like in Latex. PLT team gets a Turing award for their contributions to programming language research and CS education. CS majors are required to take a macros exam and demonstrate solid knowledge of both reader macros and compile macros to get a degree. I. Am Montag, 26.
