Racket is not interpreted. It is compiled to machine code. You don't know what you're talking about.

~1/10.000 patient-years is a non-concern ?! I hope you're not an epidemiologist.

Metabolic acidosis. Not trivial at all.

Which happily, is totally devoid of side effects.

Amusingly, this was a very common if not the most common stance on this very website some time ago. Surely, don't look for assistance on the internet regarding memory issues.

Don't come and spoil our nice individualism with populational effects, you filthy rationalist !

Statically checked macros are useful to introduce new syntax at no runtime cost.

Beatings will continue until morale improves.

Ozempic is very recent. Given the volume of prescription, the probability of problematic side-effect in the short-to-medium term indeed seems low. But it sill is too early to say w…

Yeah, something like omeprazole.

Ibuprofen ? That's really not something I'd have expected to end up in someone's 'healthy stuff' list. Ibuprofen increases the risk of cardiac event and is a common precipiting fac…

Ok, so I am sorry but this is an extremely uninformed take. Please have a look around in Racket's documentation before going any further: https://docs.racket-lang.org/
