Racket is a general-purpose programming language that’s also an ecosystem for developing programming languages. See Creating Languages and the language development toolchain.

• The Racket Manifesto outlines the origin, purpose and future direction of Racket from its creators.
• A Programmable Programming Language

The Racket Distribution includes the Racket language(s), command line tools, and DrRacket IDE (but Racket is supported by a variety of IDEs and text editors )

DrRacket can be used out-of-the-box to create, debug and compile applications. (menu: Racket-> Create Executable...). See Compiling standalone executables for more details.
