Scheme-based dialect of Lisp
Branch: CURRENT,
Version: 9.3,
Package name: racket-9.3,
Maintainer: pkgsrc-usersRacket (formerly PLT Scheme) is a specific dialect of the Lisp
language based on the Scheme branch of the Lisp family.
It is suitable for implementation tasks ranging from scripting
to application development, including GUIs, web services, etc.
It includes programming environment, a virtual machine with
a just-in-time compiler, tools for creating stand-alone
executables, web server, extensive libraries, documentation
for both beginners and experts, and more. It supports the
creation of new programming languages through a rich, expressive
syntax system.

Log message:
racket: update to 9.3
- The raco setup command can generate markdown documentation, using
the --doc-markdown option.
- The "#lang" teaching languages (BSL, …, ISL+; plus DeinProgram)
have reached parity with the ones chosen using the Language dialog,
and are the recommended choice.
- DrRacket’s background expansion disables errortrace annotations,
for faster syntax checking.
- The raco pkg install command includes new options that provide more
install-time configuration flexibility: --adjacent-deps, --destdir,
and --attach, and a refined --skip-installed.
- The ffi/unsafe/runtime-lib library provides a define-runtime-lib
mechanism similar to define-runtime-path, allowing location of
libraries located relative to a source file.
- The prompt-tag/c contract generator no longer performs checking on
call/cc when the #:call/cc option is not present.
- The impersonate-prompt-tag function takes an additional argument
that allows checking and update of results for composable
continuations.
- The error-syntax->srcloc-handler parameter provides control over
the mapping from syntactic forms to source locations for error
handling.
- Uses of (tcp-listen 0) will retry when it fails with “address in
use”.
- The racket/base module requires fewer internal modules and
instantiations.
- The file/zip package provides a new mechanism for greatly increased
control over zip file generation, allowing in-memory file sources
and per-file compression control.

Log message:
racket: update to 9.2
- The match form checks that when non-linear patterns (patterns
where the same variable is used multiple times) are used with ...,
the two parts of the matched value actually are equal. Additionally,
match rejects non-linear patterns where one use of the variable is
used with ... and another is not. This repair could cause existing
code to fail.
- Typed Racket types for the asin and acos procedures correctly
handle situations where the function produces a complex number,
avoiding unsound results that were previously possible. This repair
could cause existing code to fail at compile time.
- The #%foreign-inline core syntactic form provides unsafe access
to facilities provided at the linklet layer by a Racket
implementation. This means that any code that handles all core
forms by enumeration will need to be updated.
- Unicode 17.0 is used for character and string operations.
- This release includes internal support for a more static
foreign interface (to be used in a future package).
- The terminal-file-position function counts bytes written to ports
connected to a terminal, such as stdin and stderr.
- Cross-phase persistent modules allow more types of quoted data.
- The implementations of member, memw, when, unless, let/ec, and
cond are rewritten to use only racket/kernel syntax
- The impersonator-property-predicate-procedure? function identifies
procedures created by make-impersonator-property.
- In Typed Racket, polymorphic struct types are printed using type
arguments (e.g., (Array Byte)) rather than exposing an internal
representation.
- The stepper-display of numbers better matches the language
settings.
- Scribble documents that do not use the Racket-manual style get
an initial-scale of 1.0, instead of the manual style-0.8, but
this can be configured using the initial-scale property.
- By default, margin notes appear inline for narrow displays in
all styles, not just in the Racket-manual style.
- Big-bang programs distributed as .dmg files correctly handle the
close-on-stop feature.
- There are many other repairs and documentation improvements!

Log message:
racket: update to 9.1
- Documentation organization and navigation can be specialized by
language family, to allow users to interact with documentation in a
way that is tailored to that language family. This is currently used
by Rhombus.
- The `for` form and its variants accept an `#:on-length-mismatch`
specifier. 3.18 Iterations and Comprehensions: for, for/list, ...
- DrRacket improves the GUI for choosing color schemes.
- DrRacket has curved syntax arrows. The degree of curvature indicates
the relative left- or right-displacement of the arrow's target.
- DrRacket's "Insert Large Letters" uses characters that match the
comment syntax of the buffer's language, making it useful (and fun!)
in Rhombus.
- The `exn-classify-errno` maps network and filesystem error numbers
on various platforms to posix-standard symbols, to enable more
portable code. 10.2 Exceptions
- The behavior of Racket BC on certain character operations (most
notably `eq?`) is changed to match that of Racket CS, with a small
performance penalty for these operations for BC programs. 19
Performance 1.5 Implementations
- The `make-struct-type` procedure can inherit the current inspector
using a `'current` flag. This is the default behavior, but there are
situations in which it's not possible to refer to the current
inspector. 5.2 Creating Structure Types
- Bundle configurations can better control the conventions for
locating shared object files with the `--enable-sofind=3D<conv>`
flags.
- The `system-type` function can report on platform and
shared-object-library conventions with new flags. 15.8 Environment
and Runtime Information
- The `openssl/legacy` library makes it possible to access OpenSSL's
built-in "legacy" provider, to get access to insecure and outdated
algorithms. OpenSSL: Secure Communication
- Typed Racket improves expected type propagation for keyword argument
functions.
- There are many other repairs and documentation improvements!

Log message:
racket: update to 9.0
- Supports parallel threads
- Parallel threads can be created using the #:pool argument to
thread creation.
- Threads created with #:keep set to 'results
will record their results for later retrieval with thread-wait.
- The black-box wrapper prevents the optimizing compiler from
optimizing away certain computations entirely. This can be helpful
in ensuring that benchmarks are accurate.
- The decompile-linklet function can map linklets back to
s-expressions.
- When using BC Racket, the processor-count function is changed to
always return the parallel count.
- We now distribute “natipkg” packages for AArch64, useful for
package-build and package-testing infrastructure.
- Check Syntax tracks identifiers more deeply nested in the “origin”
field of syntax objects.
- The math library includes Weibull distributions.
- There are many other repairs and documentation improvements
