I've been curious about sweet expressions myself for a while
too, so I went ahead and ported David Wheeler's
implementation for Racket and made it a language you can use
from planet.

To use, write a #lang line like this:

  #lang asumu/sweet racket

  printf("Hello")

You can replace "racket" with "typed/racket" or your favorite
racket-hosted language. It should also work in DrRacket but
you won't get nice things like indentation.

It still has some limitations (e.g. won't support some nice
reader stuff in Racket like hash literals) that I might fix
later. I haven't tested this too thoroughly so let me know
if it's buggy.

Cheers,
Asumu
