There's a trade-off between keeping the distribution sizes small and making ".boot" files available for convenient embedding, even though embedding is relatively rare. For Unix platforms, since you have to build from source to get a static library for embedding anyway, we'll leave out ".boot" files. For Mac OS, the distribution's "Racket" framework includes ".boot" files --- even though the framework is itself unused for a normal distribution build, since signing and notarization are handled by embedded the boot files in an executable, but the framework was kept for a kind of backward compatibility. For Windows, the Racket DLL can be used for embedding, so the ".boot" files would be the only missing piece; also, they were already included in a cross-built distribution. Update "Inside" to note that ".boot" files must be built on Unix and to clarify the location of ".boot" files on Mac OS. Closes #3377 |

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
For information on building Racket from this repository, see the Build Guide.
