Add a way for users to save and access their code - so probably a database and user accounts. I could add a save function to the REPL, but that would defeat the purpose of the REPL - so would need an editor to sit alongside the REPL.</div> <div><br></div> <div>I had an idea to create a MVC framework in Racket, was planning on calling it Ruckus, might be worthwhile to do it all at the same time. Unless one currently exists?
