same Shriram that is involved in the Scheme-based Racket language, I would guess?

yes I think you're referring to https://www.pyret.org/

I think they're referring to the Racket programming language [0].

Shriram also authored "Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation" [1] and co-authored "How to Design Programs" [2] with Matthias Felleisen, Robby Findler, and Matthew Flatt. Both books use Racket as a base (well, PLAI uses PLAI/typed, which is built from Racket and utilized the DrRacket interpreter... close enough).

Indeed, he's guilty of all of the above.

Thanks for all the good work! We used PLAI for Matthew's undergrad PL course at the U, and HtDP as supplementary material. Good stuff!

Thank you kindly!

That same one, yeah.

Thank you for the summary
