Excited to see the implementation become smaller and simpler. Swam through the core codebase a couple of times. It's a bit of a mess right now.
I have always installed Racket even back in the PLT scheme days, but never really went too far with it. I always liked the integrated IDE (DrRacket) for starting to teach my son to code. Now, I am getting more serious with Racket pretty much because of the shift to utilizing Chez Scheme, well it's the catalyst for me to commit. Good work by the Racket devs and contributors!
The patches coming into chez scheme have all been a wonderful read, especially the bigger ones by Gustavo Massa. I hope they can work most kinks out so that the performance drop by running on chez isn't too big,or at least provide some kind of good interoperability with regular chez so that you can write performance sensitive code in chez and use it with/without guarantees from racket.
