I’m currently working on a macOS app that’s built with Racket and allows the user to write small scripts to process and filter some data. While Racket is definitely my preferred language and I could easily use it for these scripts, my target audience for this app would probably appreciate a more familiar language.
I'd love to script something in racket, over lua.
Is basic racket scripting even more challenging? I guess some programmers are allergic to s-expressions. But if you gave them a DSL, you could get something wonderfully expressive.
Dunno. Hard for me to imagine someone grokking Lua metatables but being terrified of parens.
