Racket v6.5
- Typed Racket and the racket/contract library generate code with lower
overhead, speeding up typed/untyped interaction in a number of gradual
typing programs we studied.
- Macros written using `syntax-parse` automatically emit more accurate
error messages.
- The contract profiler captures costs from more contract combinators,
including all those in the main distribution.
- Hash table and set iteration, via both existing and new non-generic
sequences, is more performant, up to twice as fast on microbenchmarks.
- The Racket optimizer detects many more optimization opportunities,
including when variables always hold numbers.
- The `db` library supports multi-result statements in MySQL.
- The `net/dns` library supports SRV records.
- The `racket/unix-socket` library supports listen and accept operations.
