Racket v6.3: With a new macro expander, GTK3 support, and more (racket-lang.org)

Matthew Flatt's talk on the new macro expander at (fifth RacketCon) can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABWLveMNdzg

While the content of the talk is about the new macro expander, the presentation makes great use of Racket's pict module and the pict3d package. Really impressive!

Since first discovering Racket as a result of a Coursera course, it has become my go-to language for my side projects. While I haven't gone into very deep macrology, I'm more enthusiastic and a bit less apprehensive about it thanks to this simpler macro expander.
