Why Racket, Why Lisp ➶

The itch to try a new programming language is there again. Racket seems a good choice, which I might explore using the Pollen publishing system that is written in Racket:

At the core of Pollen is an argument:

  • First, that digital books should be the best books we’ve ever had. So far, they’re not even close.
  • Second, that because digital books are software, an author shouldn’t think of a book as merely data. The book is a program.
  • Third, that the way we make digital books better than their predecessors is by exploiting this programmability.

That’s what Pollen is for.
