Hi Ray,

Are you using this in your day to day programming? What sort of projects do
you use this for ? Do you use untyped racket in the beginning, i.e when you
are experimenting with ideas/algorithms and then migrate to typed racket ?
Have you used typed racket when developing web applications with the racket
web libs?

Much Thanks
Bikal
