README

        
This repository is the integration phase of the Rhombus project,

which is about the design of a new language that is based on Racket.

Rhombus offers the same kind of language extensibility as Racket

itself, but using conventional (infix) notation with the goal of

making Racket technology more accessible. For an overview of Rhombus's

goals and design, see

* [OOPSLA'23 paper](https://doi.org/10.1145/3622818)

  or the [talk video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkiy1rmKA48)

* [Documentation](https://docs.racket-lang.org/rhombus@rhombus/index.html)

  as rendered by the Racket package-build service

This repository also houses the packages that make up the current

Rhombus implementation.

# Trying Rhombus

Using [Racket](https://racket-lang.org), install the package `rhombus`

through DrRacket's "Install Package..." menu item or on the command

line with

```

raco pkg install rhombus

```

# Participation

**Anyone can participate in Rhombus design discussions.** The Racket team's

unofficial motto is _anything we can do, you can do:_ programmers should feel

empowered to participate in the creation of the languages they use. Discussions,

pull requests, and issues are open to all, and a wide variety of perspectives is

especially beneficial.

## Issues and Pull Requests

GitHub [**issues**](../../issues) are for bug reports and feature

ideas, and [**pull requests**](../../pulls) are for bug-fix candidates

and other concrete proposals.

## Conversations as Discussion

GitHub [**discussions**](../../discussions) provide a forum for discussing

Rhombus broadly, as opposed to discusssing details of specific

proposals.
