This is my first language in racket, it's called _grego_. It's very simple and silly, you type an greek letter and it returns the letter name in greek. I based it on the Stacker language we learned in _Beautiful Racket_.  
This could be useful if you want to implement languages from that book, but without using the '_br_' language

Bonjour @wilsonSants ,

it is interesting, just a question,because i'm a (modern) greek learner (having a few ancestors from Greece) but beginner. Isn't it a problem with `β` :

i would have put `βήτα` instead `βήτασ`.

see: [βήτα - Wiktionary, the free dictionary](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%B2%CE%AE%CF%84%CE%B1#Greek)

i can not find a lot of reference for `βήτασ` unless perheaps as family name (with a B upper case)

> **[Βήτας - Βικιλεξικό](https://el.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%92%CE%AE%CF%84%CE%B1%CF%82#%CE%9D%CE%AD%CE%B1_%CE%B5%CE%BB%CE%BB%CE%B7%CE%BD%CE%B9%CE%BA%CE%AC_(el))**

or something more argotic 😏 :

> **[βητάς - Βικιλεξικό](https://el.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%B2%CE%B7%CF%84%CE%AC%CF%82)**

but in my favorite youtube list i have also [VITAS](https://youtu.be/4xoFO9qa_fM) singer 😂and i just mention it because in cyrillic alphabet (coming from greek one) [B](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ve_(Cyrillic)) can be pronounced V which is very confusing if you learn both Greek and Russian
