DrRacket (formerly DrScheme) is an Integrated Development Environment originally built for use with the TeachScheme! project. Racket is a general-purpose, multi-paradigm programming language based on the Scheme dialect of Lisp. It is designed to be a platform for programming language design and implementation.
The editor provides source highlighting for syntax and run-time errors, parenthesis matching, a debugger and an algebraic stepper. Its student-friendly features include support for multiple “language levels” (Beginning Student, Intermediate Student and so on).
It also has integrated library support, and sophisticated analysis tools for advanced programmers. Further, module-oriented programming is supported with the module browser, a contour view, integrated testing and coverage measurements, and refactoring support.
It provides integrated, context-sensitive access to an extensive hyper-linked help system named “Help Desk”.
DrRacket is cross-platform software. It runs on Linux, Unix, macOS, and Windows.
