racketscript / racketscript Public
RacketScript is an experimental lightweight Racket to JavaScript (ECMAScript 6) compiler. RacketScript aims to leverage both JavaScript and Racket's ecosystem, and make interoperability between them clean and smooth.
RacketScript takes in Racket source files, uses Racket's macro expander to produce Fully Expanded Programs, and then compile these fully expanded programs to JavaScript. RacketScript currently supports only a subset of Racket.
RacketScript is work-in-progress and is not mature and stable. Several Racket features and libraries are not yet implemented (eg. number pyramid, contracts, proper tail calls, continuations). There are also quite a few missing primitive functions. That said, we encourage experimentation, user feedback, discussions, bug reports and pull requests.
If you do not wish to pollute your root NPM directory, you can set a custom global location by changing your npmrc (eg. echo "prefix = $HOME/.npm-packages" >> ~/.npmrc. Then add /prefix/path/above/bin to your PATH.
