Hi, I've started working with the Htdp textbook as I'd like to acquire a solid foundation in (functional) programming. The approach to teaching programming looks very promising. Having this ressource available online for free is absolutely amazing. Thank you.
One slight annoyance I came across: I've found running code snippets with the beginning languages rather slow, much slower than with `#lang racket`. Why is that? Anything I could do to make that more performant? (Actually, running simple racket snippets is much faster in the REPL than with DrRacket. Is there a way to use the BSLs on the command line?) Or: Could I just use work through the textbook with `#lang racket`? How different is racket from the student languages? Are they subsets, i.e. will everything that works in those languages also work with racket proper?
