No such legerdemain here. Whatever effort I&rsquo;ve put into Pollen is dwarfed by the epic accomplishments of the Racket development team. I thank all of them &#8212; especially <a href="https://www.cs.utah.edu/~mflatt/">Matthew Flatt</a>, <a href="http://faculty.cs.byu.edu/~jay/home/">Jay McCarthy</a>, and <a href="http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/matthias/">Matthias Felleisen</a> &#8212; for making this tremendous tool available, for adding several features I suggested, and for patiently answering my dumb questions over the months.</p><p>Thank you to Greg Hendershott for his Markdown parser.</p><p>The best software tools do more than get the job done. They create an incentive to undertake jobs you wouldn&rsquo;t have attempted before. Racket encouraged me to become a better programmer so I could create Pollen. Likewise, I hope that Pollen encourages you to make things you couldn&rsquo;t before.</p><p>MB</p><div class="navsetbottom"><span class="navleft"><div class="nosearchform"></div>&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span class="navright">&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="World.html" title="backward to &quot;10.9 World&quot;" data-pltdoc="x">&larr; prev</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="index.html" title="up to &quot;Pollen: the book is a program&quot;" data-pltdoc="x">up</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="License___source_code.html" title="forward to &quot;12 License &amp; source code&quot;" data-pltdoc="x">next &rarr;</a></span>&nbsp;</div></div></div><div id="contextindicator">&nbsp;</div></body></html>
