FAQs: Rhombus - racket/racket GitHub Wiki

Rhombus:

  • is not a replacement for Racket.
  • is not finished. Development and design are on-going. Some parts of the prototype are more firmly decided than others.
  • is not just syntax. It is an opportunity to decide on what should and should not be core.

Rhombus:

  • is just another #lang. It is built on top of the existing Racket VM and written in Racket. It interoperates with existing Racket code and uses the Racket expander.
  • is macro extendable. Hygiene and all of the good stuff work.
  • is being developed in the open. We meet biweekly over Zoom and discussions also occur in GitHub Discussions.

Q: How can I try Rhombus? A: Er... can someone fill in the answer part of this question?
