![]() Currently, `make` is the same as `make bc`, but the idea is that `make` can become the same as `make cs` when some other pieces are in place. The source of the top-level makefile is now ".makefile", and it's turned into "Makefile" using "racket/src/makemake.rkt". The transformation makes non-GNU `make` variants and `nmake` act like GNU make to propagate variables, which makes abstraction through targets plus variables (admitedly an abuse of `make`) more reliable and consistent. Why abuse `make` this way? Because `make` variants and `nmake` are similar enough that to constitute a portable scripting language, and one that conveniently provides a large number of entry points. |

Racket is a general-purpose programming language and an ecosystem for language-oriented programming.
This repository holds the source code for the core of Racket plus some related packages. The rest of the Racket distribution source code is in other repositories, mostly under the Racket GitHub organization.
Quick Start
Pre-built versions of Racket for a variety of operating systems and architectures, as well as convenient source distributions are available at
https://download.racket-lang.org
Racket comes with extensive documentation, including several tutorials. You can read all of this documentation, as well as documentation for third-party packages at
