Description

Adds support for the Racket programming language.

Features:

• Syntax highlighting with racket-mode
• Test runner
• Interactive REPL
• Code navigation with gtags
• Structuraly safe editing using optional evil-cleverparens

Install

To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add racket to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file. You will also need DrRacket installed. Alternatively, one can use the "Minimal Racket" installation, and then run the following command.

raco pkg install drracket

Structuraly safe editing

This layer adds support for evil-cleverparens which allows to safely edit lisp code by keeping the s-expressions balanced.

By default this mode is not activated. You can turn it on locally on the active buffer with SPC m T s (s for safe).

To turn it on automatically for all racket buffers call the following function in your dotspacemacs/user-config function:

(spacemacs/toggle-evil-safe-lisp-structural-editing-on-register-hook-racket-mode)

or to enable it for all supported modes:

(spacemacs/toggle-evil-safe-lisp-structural-editing-on-register-hooks)

When enabled the symbol 🆂 should be displayed in the mode-line.
