Re: Client side web applications in Racket

Thanks

- is there a JavaScript MVC framework that is suitable to use with
racketscript? (should I be using react or angular ?)

- can I use Racketscrips with racket web applications stuff for the backend
or am I compiling racketscript to nodejs to run on the server?

Thanks again
