I'm also occasionally writing posts about Racket on my blog. Only one is public for now, and is a multi-parts tutorial about writing DSLs in Racket.
I'm trying to summarize and reformulate some of the things I learned by making small languages in Racket. If you already read Beautiful Racket, I guess there's nothing new to learn, because I'm mostly targeting developers not aware of lisp languages. You can find the first part here: http://rilouw.eu/article/the-programming-language-of-your-dreams-part-1 Feel free to contact me if you want to share some advice and feedback! I'm not confident the article is worth a post on HN for now, and I don't know if my Racket server will sustain a mention on HN anyway, but if you feel it's worth posting, feel free to do so.
