[ANN] New update, Magic Racket for VS Code

[Evžen Wybitul]

As you might already know, I'm developing a Racket extension for VS Code, called Magic Racket. Until now the main feature was near-perfect syntax highlighting (supporting everything from binary numbers to weird constructs like |variable name|). However, a recent update introduces simple, but useful, REPL integration (run file, load file, execute selection).

The next milestone is better integration with the repl, most notably fetching docs using ,doc. Also, some support for formatiing the Racket code would be nice (that's what I miss the most coming rom DrRacket — I only write simple sripts most of the time). The milestone after that would be adding support for the Racket LSP, but that is still quite far away. If anybody would be willing to participate on this project, please let me now through GitHub, or on this email!

This looks very cool, thanks for putting in the work.

I haven't had a chance to play with it yet so please pardon if this is already in, but were you planning on adding Paredit type features as well, or should we rely on existing plugins?

No problem, I’m glad you asked. It’s not included, and it’s not planned: I’d rather leave this to some other package to keep things modular. There already is a kind of paredit-y package for VS code, but it hasn’t seen an update in a while (I believe). I think the author focuses more on his extension for Atom; maybe somebody could pick the VS code version up and implement the bits the original author didn’t.
