It's still early days for the WebRacket project.

Racket is a huge language, so be patient wrt features.

To keep motivation high I decided to implement a subset that can be used to built practical applications - and then extend the supported features from there. Hopefully, this strategy will also lead to some early adopters that can help me prioritize which features to add.

Some features are simply "more of the same". In this category falls more types of hash tables. Supporting bignums are also a matter of just doing it.

Other features require more work. I have already done some work on implementing modules in terms of linklets. When linklets/modules work, we can reuse the existing implementation of regular expressions.

Adding continuation marks and delimited continuations require adding a CPS-pass. This is certainly doable. Postponing it has been great though. Having a direct style compiler means the generated code follows the structure in the input source code. And that makes debugging easier. Now that bugs have become rarer, it makes sense to look at CPS.

Enjoy.

An example page (not mine) of it running in the browser is here: https://actondev.github.io/s7-playground/

I really hope the racket effort gains traction too! Excited to see this. In comparison, s7 is much more minimal. Though this also means the FFI is dead simple too, so extending it and bridging to js functions is much easier, and everything in s7 is available now in WASM - CL macros, keywords, hashtables, first class environments, continuations, etc

Of course both projects have the same maintainer if I recall, Jens Axel Søgaard is a rockstar :)
