11:16 <skeemer> does anybody know if the HTDP book covers all the concepts in The Little Schemer and the Seasoned Schemer?

11:46 <bremner> skeemer: The Seasoned Schemer is maybe a bit more advanced. It covers a fair amount on continuations (letcc) which I don't think is covered in HTDP (or the teaching languages). OTOH, there is probably more coverage of other topics in HTDP. It is almost 30 years newer, so at least the pedagogical approaches have changed

11:48 <skeemer> bremner, thank you very mucj

11:48 <skeemer> bremner, what about macros ?

11:48 <skeemer> i mean is any of these books explaining them ?

11:52 <bremner> I don't think so. At least HTDP does not, and a quick scan of the Seasoned Schemer suggests not

12:01 <bremner> skeemer: if you don't mind being racket specific, I would look at at https://beautifulracket.com/ for a book discussing macros

12:02 <bremner> probably people on #scheme have better ideas about more R*RS scheme centric books

12:08 <bremner> not exactly a book, but https://www.greghendershott.com/fear-of-macros/ is well regarded

12:11 <skeemer> thanks bremner

12:11 <skeemer> also does people using racket finds itself importing srfi modules as it happens with other scheme ?

12:11 <skeemer> *schemes?

12:12 <bremner> some do. Personally not so much.

12:13 <skeemer> i mean the advantage would be increased portability i guess

12:50 <skeemer> do you guys recommend racket-mode or geiser with racket ?

12:50 <skeemer> i am using emacs and evil mode

12:58 <bremner> I use racket-mode. I think they are both good; geiser tries harder for a "traditional REPL", while racket-mode is probably better with any racket specific syntax
