Does this mean that the Racket and Chez teams will merge as well? I always liked Racket, and use it on spare time once in a blue moon (not enough hours in the day), but I am out of the loop on Chez vs Racket.
It means that Matthew Flatt will become a committer to Chez Scheme, and they plan to include Racket-driven changes. Of course, we plan to maintain Chez Scheme's high standards for quality and preserve all the things about it that are good outside Racket as well.
Thanks for the insight! I love Racket, I just never have enough time for it. I read parts of Realm of Racket some years back, and it taught me some CS concepts that I forgot after college, which have stuck with me, and have helped me answer questions in interviews weirdly enough. I wish CS was taught in the context of "let's make a game" as one option because learning the concepts in such a way for some (like myself) is fantastic, you'll never forget it.
