Victor gave a talk nearly identical to this paper at StrangeLoop
on Tuesday. It was good. But I must say that Matthew Flatt's
talk called "The Racket Way" earlier that day was also quite
impressive. I heard a lot of people afterwards say that they
wanted their IDE to be able to do what Dr. Racket does, or
that people should use Racket to teach programming languages
in school. Personally, it inspired me to use _more_ or
Racket in my PL courses.
