Declined proposed deletion. My reasoning then, as now, was "Seemingly unnotable book; I can't find anything that suggests it gets over the bars of WP:NBOOK or WP:GNG". Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 19:26, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You mean as a course text? Do you have a source for this? Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 20:01, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, as textbook. I know in person about 5 places that use it, but it is often easy to google the places where it is mentioned. Not sure that a list of links would be appropriate though. --Eli Barzilay 20:07, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
The following page https://github.com/plt/racket/wiki/Courses-using-Racket documents several courses that use it. For example, see the CS 311 syllabus at UBC -- Takikawa (talk) 20:40, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: As I described on Talk:Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation. --Matthias Felleisen, 14:54, 24 Nov 2014
- The book is one of the first complete and comprehensive books on programming languages that is available on-line, that has been developed as if it were a piece of software itself, and that presents a totally unique perspective on the research area. It would be Wikipedia's loss if this article and pointer were deleted.{

Keep: The book clearly fulfills "The book is, or has been, the subject of instruction at two or more schools,[5] colleges, universities or post-graduate programs in any particular country" -- Jens Axel Søgaard
