Defining new
#lang
Languages
When loading a module as a source program that starts
#lang
language
the
language
determines the way that the rest of the module
is parsed at the
reader
level. The
reader
-level parse
must produce a
module
form as a
syntax object
. As
always, the second sub-form after
module
specifies the
module language
that controls the meaning of the module’s body
forms. Thus, a
language
specified after
#lang
controls both the
reader
-level and
expander
-level
parsing of a module.
