Interesting cross-platform programming language: Racket
(Ad, please don’t block)
Racket is a programming language that builds on Scheme (Lisp!). It comes with a powerful runtime environment which includes a JIT and a cross-platform GUI library. Links:
- “Quick: An Introduction to Racket with Pictures”: I like that functions can return actual pictures to the command line.
- How to Design Programs: A textbook for Racket whose complete content is available online. Having this kind of textbook makes Racket interesting for universities.
