On 2020‐06‐11, DrRacket, at initialization, presented to me, instead of the Racket logo, a sea turtle’s outline in thick, gray strokes, filled with the deep blue and deep red of the Racket logo, against a background of plaid of light blue and medium blue. The image is quite appealing, even beautiful. What is the association between 2020‐06‐11 and sea turtles?

I don't know that there is a direct connection except that some of us (maybe just me?) love the place that celebrates a holiday there.


In addition to the honu, the pattern in the background is palaka.

I work out here for a company that doesn’t provide that holiday, but at least I developed in DrRacket the whole day.  :)

Hi,

And you can find the file that generates that at

share/pkgs/drracket/drracket/private


called honu-logo.rkt

The file deciding it is a special day is in the same place 

 drracket-normal.rkt



cheers
