Thank you, Danny Yoo.<br>But as a C programmer, I was thinking more low-level as well such as<br>how does racket virtual machine manage its memory,<br>what is the implementation detail about its built-in data types,<br>and of course, I am interested in its mechanism and strategies based on these facilities. <br>
