What is Racket?
Racket is a batteries-included Scheme dialect with a powerful macro system and the #lang reader — making it the most popular "programming-language programming-language". Northeastern's How to Design Programs course teaches introductory CS in Racket, and a generation of programming-language researchers learned parsing and compilation via Racket's #lang pl.
Why run Racket in the browser
Racket's installer is ~150MB, and DrRacket — the official IDE — is a separate download. A browser sandbox is the fastest way to try a #lang racket snippet, learn S-expressions, or sketch a small DSL without installing anything.
Common Racket tasks
Language design (define your own #lang), scripting (RacketScript), web apps (Koyo on top of the Racket web server), Typed Racket for statically-typed modules, Scribble for documentation, and university CS1/CS2 curricula. The sandbox runs Racket 8.3.0.
Getting started with Racket 8.3.0
Paste a snippet — #lang racket (displayln "hi, Tutorsbot") — hit Run, see stdout. The highlighter recognises Racket's S-expressions, define/lambda/let, the #lang reader, and quote forms 'x. The default snippet shows a (greet "Tutorsbot") function call.
