The Guide has an introduction to how #lang works:

    http://docs.racket-lang.org/guide/languages.html

That may be a good place to start.


If you're looking for example-driven approaches, perhaps:

    http://hashcollision.org/brainfudge/

may be applicable?  I also wrote up a quick-and-dirty example of
writing a #lang for a simple DSL for ascii diagrams for 'ragg':

For a more substantial example, perhaps Jens's minipascal project?
