Is there a code visualization website for Racket programs (for novice WeScheme users) similar to what is available at Online Python Tutor? Needless to say, it would provide a great self-teaching or learning tool.

DrRacket provides a Stepper--it's one of the buttons in the toolbar--that shows the evaluation of programs written in Beginning and Intermediate student languages as a sequence of steps. Its interface is not as pretty as the page you point to--as the author of the Stepper, I can say this with confidence--but it's a visualization tool along the same lines as the one you describe.

  • Thanks, John. How about for novice WeScheme users? What would you suggest for them? – lifebalance Feb 20 '12 at 19:13

    RE WeScheme: my summer plans will be focused on improving WeScheme. I hope to integrate **tracer** (http://planet.racket-lang.org/package-source/tracer/tracer.plt/1/9/planet-docs/tracer/index.html) into WeScheme. It requires me to build some back-end infrastructure to support it. It's in the works. – dyoo Feb 20 '12 at 22:25
  • Tracer is cool! Look forward to having it on WeScheme as well. – lifebalance Feb 21 '12 at 01:53
