(sixth RacketCon): Alexis King -- Languages in an Afternoon

Racket is not just a programming language; it is a programming language platform. Ideally, it could be more than a platform, but a greenhouse-a perfect tool for incubating new languages and growing mature ones (general purpose or domain specific). This talk presents a survey of Racket’s tools for building languages, the process it takes to add an entirely new, fully-integrated language to the ecosystem, and the places where that process could be streamlined to achieve the dream of designing, implementing, and applying an entirely new programming language in a single afternoon.

[@aion2177]

How about implementing C or Haskell in racket just as a flex. Can that be done, and if not, why ot?

[@spdegabrielle]
