| summary | This book, "Beautiful Racket" by Matthew Butterick (version 1.6), provides an introduction to language-oriented programming using the Racket programming language. It includes setup instructions, acknowledgments, author information, and legal disclaimers (stating the book is not free and outlines payment options).
The core of the book features tutorials covering practical language creation techniques like “stacker,” functional programming concepts with “funstacker,” and macro exploration via “stackerizer.” It also guides users through extending data formats with “jsonic” and provides advanced exercises like “wires” and “basic.”
Furthermore, it offers explanations of fundamental Racket concepts including data structures, control flow, functions, recursion, and the REPL. It culminates with an appendix, glossary, and resources, including information on Racketbase, domain-specific languages, and the author’s previous work and reasons for discontinuing Racket contributions. |
