Scribble: The Racket Documentation Tool (racket-lang.org)

I credit Scribble with the amazing depth and coverage of the Racket documentation. It is truly some of the best written documentation I’ve come across. Everything in the core language has at least two sources: one in the Guide with a casual, high-level explanation of the topic with examples, and one in the Reference that documents everything in excruciating detail.

I didn’t realize how much I appreciated it until I dove back in after learning Nix.


You don’t realize how tedious building a table in a document is until you can have a `for` loop do it for you.

Scribble isn’t without its warts, but it’s a darn fine tool that does one heck of a job.
