Use data instead of code to shrink ".zo" sizes by 10-30%. When Racket code contains a literal that cannot be serialized directly by Chez Scheme (such as a keyword or an immutable string that should be datum-interned), the old approach was to generate Scheme code to construct the literal through a lifted `let` binding. To handle paths associated with procedures, however, Chez Scheme's `fasl-write` had been extended to allow arbitrary values to be intercepted during fasl and passed back in to `fasl-read`. Using that strategy for all Racket literals simplifies the implementation and reduces compiled code. It also makes closures smaller, while increases the number of relocations. DrRacket's foorprint shrinks by about 1%, but the main affect is on disk space for a Racket installation. |

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
