July 2023 welcome

Welcome to the new people who have just joined us via the invite link posted to the old racket users google group!

This is not the only place discussion of Racket and Racket related topics takes place!

While the most active places for Racket discussions are here at the Racket Discourse and on the Racket Discord, but Racket discussion also takes place on Slack (sign up) and many other platforms - see ‘Community’ on the home page for more links: https://racket-lang.org/

Q&A Questions & Answers

Weather you are an experienced developer or just started learning how to program, the Racket community welcomes questions from new learners of all kinds. Racketeers are a varied bunch including professional developers, students, cs educators & researchers, scientists in other disciplines, entrepreneurs and hobbyists.

We have dedicated Q&A channels here on Discourse (Questions & Answers ) and on the Racket Discord.
