has Racket to output to other language, such as C, in order to have machine code executables, or does it produce machine code executables directly?

<evdubs>
danisanti, bytecode
<danisanti>
for the amount of people, this is a very quiet room. I may have no help if I try to learn Racket :/
<danisanti>
thank you evdubs
<danisanti>
someone
<danisanti>
alright, bytecode
<danisanti>
evdubs: does Racket produces bytecode directly?
<evdubs>
danisanti, yes
<danisanti>
AHHHHH, the joy!
<danisanti>
that is good news
<danisanti>
I know there are no to very few Racket jobs, which is a down point
<danisanti>
evdubs: is there a good book that you may recommend? (for learning Racket :P )
<evdubs>
danisanti, i read SICP, which is scheme focused, but racket is a scheme
<evdubs>
i enjoyed reading SICP
<evdubs>
i didn't bother doing the exercises as a student might
<danisanti>
so Racket is Scheme. I don't really understand the relationship. I know Scheme is a programming language...
<danisanti>
and Racket also is a programming language....
<evdubs>
they're all in the family of lisp
<danisanti>
yes, Scheme is Lisp
<evdubs>
you can take much scheme code and run it in racket
<danisanti>
So Lisp -> Scheme and Lisp -> Racket or Lisp -> Scheme -> Racket
<danisanti>
evdubs
<evdubs>
lisp -> scheme -> racket

evdubs: thank you. coming from a C background, I don't really understand how a language as Scheme can create another language as Racket. but that is ok, I guess
<evdubs>
scheme is a very small language
<evdubs>
a language like racket might be better thought of as a scheme implementation
<evdubs>
it doesn't quite implement everything the same way as scheme but they're very close
<danisanti>
why is Racket better?
<evdubs>
racket is "batteries included"
<danisanti>
understood

<danisanti>
evdubs: in learning wise, is it better to first learn Racket or first learn Scheme?
<evdubs>
danisanti, doesn't matter. you can learn scheme while you use the DrRacket IDE
<evdubs>
you'll basically be learning the same thing
<evdubs>
and when you think "hmm.. i wonder how i can plot something in scheme" or "i wonder how i can build a gui in scheme" you can look at the racket docs to see how that's done in racket
andreyorst_ has joined #racket
<danisanti>
ok. what are the strenght points of Racket as a language?
<danisanti>
evdubs:
<danisanti>
"batteries included"
<evdubs>
yes
<danisanti>
that makes a good language, from my point of view
<evdubs>
or, on the website https://racket-lang.org/, the strengths are "mature", "jet fueled", "extensible", "robust", "polished", and "vibrant community"
<danisanti>
I don't know about the "vibrant community", right guys...?
<evdubs>
"batteries included" is synonymous with "jet fueled"
<evdubs>
the vibrant community is not so active on IRC
<danisanti>
evdubs: I like your way of saying better
<danisanti>
evdubs: where is the Racket vibrant community active?
<evdubs>
the google group; i can see you've sent a couple messages to them
<danisanti>
yeah, I did
<evdubs>
if you're wondering why you haven't been receiving quick replies, it might be because your question is easily read about on the racket website
<danisanti>
it took a long time to get the answer, but finally you appeared evdubs :DD
<danisanti>
hmmm, really. I have been to racket-lang.org and did not see the answer to my question
<danisanti>
I am gonna go now
<danisanti>
evdubs: thank you so much
<evdubs>
bye
<danisanti>
