Standard developers write code. Senior developers write code that writes code. Racket developers master hygienic macros .
You might think: “But no one uses Racket in production.”
The Silent Force: Why Your Next Hire Should Be a Racket Developer
To hire a Racket developer is to make a statement that your engineering department values power over popularity and expressiveness over convention . These developers are force multipliers. They will not write the most lines of code—they will write the most valuable lines of code.
They practice systematic program design . They don't hack until it works; they derive code from data definitions. A Racket hire will write fewer null pointer exceptions, fewer type errors, and fewer off-by-one bugs than the average industry coder. They are trained to think about the shape of the data before the behavior of the algorithm.
