Re: [racket-users] Alternatives to DrRacket

documentation (albeit limited) on the macro stepper: http://docs.racket-lang.org/macro-debugger/index.html#%28part._.Using_the_.Macro_.Stepper%29 You can also find `expand/step` there, which I find to be a very useful complement to using DrRacket to step through the expansion of an entire module.

Re: [racket-users] Alternatives to DrRacket

I generally use DrRacket for all my Racket dev because it "just works (tm)". I have sometimes used other editors for it, and the main things I miss from those usually are autocomplete (DrR has this but it's always been way too slow for me so I never turn it on), more detailed syntax highlighting

Re: [racket-users] Alternatives to DrRacket

i use emacs with all Scheme implementations and also for Racket,when debugging i can use the racket editor that display information about trace calls but i still modify in emacs and refresh only in DrRacket, in emacs i appeciate the syntax highlighting and the search and replace fast short-cuts

Re: [racket-users] Alternatives to DrRacket

DrRacket is never going to be able to do everything as well as Emacs (and DrRacket can do some things a lot better than Emacs), but a few small conveniences that I'd like to see in DrRacket when I use it: * Visually distinguish identifiers that start special syntax separate from `#lang

Re: [racket-users] Alternatives to DrRacket

One thing I appreciate about racket-mode in emacs is the more detailed syntax highlighting. I've attached two screenshots of the same code in emacs and DrRacket. I think what's happening here is that racket-mode highlights `for-clause` names and function applications (sometimes?) while DrRacket

Hi, I’ve noticed some list members use other editors or IDE’s. I know two big reasons for using a complex tool is it’s stickiness factors; normally a combination of familiarity (hence speed) with a lot of powerful features and non-transportable customisation. Putting stickiness factors aside,
