The main change is to disable forced GCs during the documentation phase in a parallel `raco setup`. Since each GC is global (instead of place local) in Racket CS, these forced GCs created a scaling problem. Furthermore, they're not really necessary; peak memory use tends to remain the same without them in a parallel build, since the ".zo"-building phase doens't have extra collections and tends to establish peak memory use. A non-parallel build still includes explicitly forced GCs. In that mode, the cost is modest while reducing peak use by 30%. A new environment variable appends timestamps (in process time since startup) for each status line, which is useful for generating more detailed build plots. |

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
Building from Source
