[racket] DrRacket languages definition
Harry Spier
Dear list members,
Can someone direct me to where in the documentation there is a list of the language identifiers i.e. what I put after #lang in the upper panel in DrRacket for the various languages recognized by DrRacket, in particular for the teaching languages. Or list them in the list for me.
Thanks in advance,
Harry

The problem with extensibility is that it makes it very hard to answer questions like this. In particular, any module with the right "shape" can be used as a language. I just looked for files of the form "*/lang/reader.rkt", and got these, which should all be legal to use after #lang (list follows).
Keep in mind that this is not exhaustive, since it's also possible to play fancy tricks with attaching modules, etc.

#lang htdp/bsl
is not quite the same as choosing the Beginning Student language from
the menu. In particular, the #lang version (which is newer and toward
which DrRacket seems to be moving, so that choosing languages and
adding teachpacks will actually be in the code, rather than some
nebulous meta-information about a file) doesn't quite work yet.
In short, feel free to try #lang lines and (require ...) statements,
but be prepared to go back to choosing the language from the menu and
adding teachpacks if something doesn't work, at least until Robby and
Matthias say everything is ready for prime-time.
