[racket] Developing a Recursive Descent Parser in Racket

Hi All,

I would like to develop a simple compiler for a declarative language in
Racket (as a personal project), and am at a bit of a loss as to how to
proceed with respect to how to process text in Racket. What is the standard
means of reading a sequence of string (or characters) from a file?

Also, I'm coming from Python, and was wondering if there was anything
similar to the LEPL library available for Racket. The basic idea is that
the library provides a syntax similar to EBNF syntax allowing me to declare
the grammar, and then generates a parser for me, whose function interface
is defined by the nonterminal symbols of the grammar.

Thank you kindly for both your time an patience with a new Racket user,
- Gregory Gelfond
