Racket (formerly named PLT Scheme) is a general purpose, multi-paradigm programming language in the Lisp/Scheme family. One of its design goals is to serve as a platform for language creation, design, and implementation. The language is used in a variety of contexts such as scripting, general-purpose programming, computer science education, and research. (source: Wikipedia) racket is the command line version, drracket is the GUI-version This SlackBuild uses the src + built packages distribution. It builds faster as it contains platform-independent bytecode. If you wish to build from pure source code can be downloaded from the racket site: https://download.racket-lang.org/
