The Racket School 2018: Create your own language

The Racket School 2018: Create your own language 9–13 July • Salt Lake City The Racket team has spent over thirty years developing and refining a coherent intellectual tradition for studying and building programming languages. This year’s school will introduce participants to Racket’s framework for language-oriented programming, which the summer school faculty recently spelled out in a a cover article in the Communications of the ACM. [https://tinyurl.com/RacketCACM] Concretely, the 2018 Racket Summer School will cover the following topics: • the spectrum of programming languages; • modules and syntax, or languages as libraries; • DrRacket’s support for language-oriented programming; • a domain-specific language for adding types to languages; • tools and techniques for implementing notational conveniences; and • research challenges in language-oriented programming. If these topics intrigue you, attend the Racket Summer School: http://summer-school.racket-lang.org/2018/ This is not your run-of-the-mill summer school. We will do our best to make it exciting, entertaining, and useful to a broad spectrum of attendees, both academic and industrial. P.S. We will send you your first problem set in June, a month before the summer school to whet your appetite.
