💖 GRACKET(1) — the girlies' guide to the GUI Racket 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the gracket manual page ✨ this one lives in the General Commands Manual section (section 1, the classics), and it's the GUI-application variant of Racket. yep. windows. buttons. vibes. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

gracket — the GUI Racket implementation 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gracket [ option ...  ] [ argument ...  ]

like. you give it some options, you give it some arguments, it does its thing. iconic behavior only. 🦋

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

okay so GRacket is literally the GUI-application variant of racket. that's the whole thing. that's the concept. main character energy fr fr.

run this:

gracket --help

and it will hand you a list of command-line options plus other start-up information. do it. slay. 💖

now, the important part — the way you call it changes what it does, no cap:

  • supplying no arguments to gracket is the same as supplying the -i option, which is for interactive evaluation. so an empty call is not an empty call, bestie, it's a whole conversation. 🫶
  • supplying non-switch, non-configuration arguments to gracket is the same as putting -u before the arguments, so the first one runs as a module-based script. lowkey a plot twist, highkey useful. ⭐
note to self: --help is your bestie, -i is the default when you say nothing, and -u is what's secretly happening when you pass plain old arguments. 💀
