racket

General purpose, multi-paradigm Lisp-Scheme programming language

Grow your Program - Racket's interactive mode encourages experimentation, and quick scripts easily compose into larger systems. Small scripts and large systems both benefit from native-code JIT compilation. When a system gets too big to keep in your head, you can add static types. Grow your Language - extend Racket whenever you need to. Mold it to better suit your tasks without sacrificing interoperability with existing libraries and without having to modify the tool chain. When less is more, you can remove parts of a language or start over and build a new one. Grow your Skills - whether you're just starting out, want to know more about programming language applications or models, looking to expand your horizons, or ready to dive into research, Racket can help you become a better programmer and system builder.

Use flags of 9.2

  • +chez Build Racket on Chez (Racket CS)
  • +doc Add extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc). It is recommended to enable per package instead of globally
  • +futures Enable racket/future library for fine-grained hardware parallelism
  • iconv Enable support for the iconv character set conversion library
  • +jit Enable just-in-time compilation for improved performance. May prevent use of some PaX memory protection features in Gentoo Hardened.
  • minimal Install a very minimal build (disables, for example, plugins, fonts, most drivers, non-critical features)
  • ncurses Add ncurses support for expeditor (REPL expression editor)
  • +places Enable racket/place library for share-nothing parallelism and message-passing communication. Compared to futures, places are heavyweight, but they have a simpler performance model.
  • +threads Enable support for green threads
