Racket v7.2
Racket is such a cool project. I keep telling myself I&#x27;ll find the time to do something serious with it, but I never get around to it.<p>One minor bit of criticism - would be it be so hard&#x2F;expensive to hire a designer to do some minor touching up of the DrRacket GUI? It looks like a toy, and the icons didn&#x27;t even look good in 1998.<p>I&#x27;ll balance this criticism with the remark that any language&#x2F;platform that manages to a) add, ex-post, a type system, b) fix the Gordian knot of modules <i>and</i> macros, and c) has the audacity (combined, curiously, with humility) to just swap out the entire backend to eek out more performance, deserves my respect. In addition both Flatt and Tobin-Hochstadt give excellent presentations where it&#x27;s impossible not to notice their passion for Racket. They&#x27;re definitely among my nerd heroes right now.
