[racket] Dr. Racket for FPGA development

That would be interesting.

Maybe one could put a Racket VM in FPGA.

Maybe also a possibility is to use layers of Racket syntax transformers 
over a lower layer that simply writes out a conventional VHDL or 
whatever file.  This would be a more convenient way to implement 
higher-level languages for FPGAs than using conventional parser tools 
and such.  You're using the Racket "syntax-rules", "syntax-parse", etc. 
to implement a compiler, but the person using this compiler is not 
actually programming in Racket (unless those layers of syntax 
transformers also implement the Racket language).
