A structure is defined with `define-struct` in Intermediate Student Language.
Is it serializable? That is, can it be written and then re-read
successfully with `write` and `read`? If not, is there a way to make it so?
(I have found the function `make-serialize-info` in the racket/serialize
libra
Kind of. If this is about Universe programming (so that students can send
messages back and forth), I have them write conversion functions:
(define-struct hh (cakes henries))
(define (hh->lists hh)
(list (cakes->lists (hh-cakes hh)) (henries->lists (hh-henries hh

I think the conversion function is useful pedagogically to talk about
the need to serialize, but having it just work might be expedient in
other situations. I do not believe that they are actually
serializable, but we could fairly easily make that change.

I have considered making them prefab instead

I agree. Having the students write the marshalling and unmarshalling
functions is important when introducing them to DP. It also a great way to
demonstrate the importance inverse functions. Take a look at some of my
thoughts here:
