[racket] DrRacket init file on WIndows 8

[Jongwon Choi]

Finally it is time to teach programming to my kid!

I've installed DrRacket 6.1.1 [3m] on Windows 8, added atom? function
and saved it as racketrc.rktl

(find-system-path 'init-file)

#<path:C:\Users\Jongwon\racketrc.rktl>

(define in (open-input-file "C:\\Users\\Jongwon\\racketrc.rktl"))
in

#<input-port:C:\Users\Jongwon\racketrc.rktl>


Any ideas?


Thanks!

The file racketrc.rktl is loaded only in Racket.exe, not it
GRacket.exe or DrRacket.exe.

I think that the easier way to do something similar is

1) Save a file "mylibrary.rkt" with the code you want.
2) Open DrRacket
3) Type in the definition window
#lang racket
(require "mylibrary.rkt")
4) Save this to the same folder of "mylibrary.rkt"
5) Press the Run Button
6) You can use now the interaction window


I actually prefer to program only in the definition windows, and use
the interaction windows for debugging.

It's also possible to define your own language, for example
super-racket that is racket with even more libraries included, and
then you only have to type
#lang super-racket
This is not difficult but it require many steps to create all the
folders and files to configure the new language.

Thanks, Gustavo

That is inconvenient :(




Is it possible to do incremental saving DrRacket image with my own
extension?
Or are there easy ways to make DrRacket 'executable' again with my own
extension?

Thanks!
