Which all but the culprits plainly hear.

Comparative Studies of 10 Programming Languages within 10 Diverse Criteria - a Team 10 COMP6411-S10 Term Report
Interfaces in Racket are used to be able to check whether an object of a class implements a specific set of methods. To declare a class that implements an interface class* form is used. If a class does not implement the methods declared in the interface it extends, a runtime error will occur during its evaluation.

This experience report on the use of Racket and Haskell to teach a required first university CS course to students with v ery good mathematical skills focusses on the ways that programming forces one to get the details right, with consequent bene fits in the mathematical domain.
Mathematics Is Imprecise
Thus the reader may be surprised at the choice I made in the first advanced course: while the first set of lectures uses Haskell exclusively, and students see it throughout the advanced course, all of their assignment programming is done in Racket.
Mathematics Is Imprecise
Racket’s uniform, parenthesized syntax (inherited from Lisp and Scheme) is by contrast relatively straightforward; the teaching language subsets implemented by the DrRacket IDE limit student errors that produce “meaningful nonsense”; and testing is lightweight , facilitating adherence to the PBD methodology.
Mathematics Is Imprecise
When I introduce more advanced features available in full Racket (such as pattern matching and macros), students can appreciate them (with the foreshadowing provided by Haskell) and put them to use immediately.
Mathematics Is Imprecise
This mes hes quite well with the reduction semantics given for Racket.) The anonymous method is inadequate for a proper exploration of proof, even at this point.
Mathematics Is Imprecise
Racket functions consuming data of these forms consist of a cond at the top level, and the table has one row for each question-answer pair (equivalently, for each pattern plus guard in a Haskell multipart definition).
