The Racket platform provides an implementation of the Racket language (including a [[runtime system]],<ref name="mred"/> libraries, and [[compiler]] supporting several compilation modes: machine code, machine-independent, interpreted, and JIT) along with the DrRacket [[integrated development environment]] (IDE) written in Racket.<ref name="drscheme"/> Racket is used by the [[ProgramByDesign]] outreach program, which aims to turn [[computer science]] into "an indispensable part of the [[liberal arts]] [[curriculum]]".<ref name="teachscheme">{{cite news| last1=Felleisen |last2=Findler |last3=Flatt |last4=Krishnamurthi |year=2004 |url=http://www.ccs.neu.edu/scheme/pubs/#cse2003-fffk |title=The TeachScheme!
