I've wanted to try racket a few times but always found the "IDE" to be really unintuitive, clunky and weird. What gives? Is that by design or is it just that nothing better has been created so far?
- soegaard 10mo agoGo to racket-mode.com for the very nice Emacs-integration.
- someNameIG 10mo agoGeiser works well for Racket also.
- spdegabrielle 10mo agoThe IDE is not the language. Racket has good support in VSCode (via magic Racket and the Racket langserver), Emacs (Racket Mode) and Vim. https://download.racket-lang.org/releases/9.0/doc/guide/other-editors.html https://download.racket-lang.org/releases/9.0/doc/guide/othe... The Racket Langserver obviously enables use in other editors that support the LSP. https://github.com/jeapostrophe/racket-langserver https://github.com/jeapostrophe/racket-langserver For editors that lack LSP support, scheme support is generally sufficient. All that aside, DrRacket the IDE has some nice features that just don't exist in other editors. I don't know of another IDE that has an integrated macro stepper.
