The documentation is beautiful but is far from complete, API's lack examples and if you do a search there is confusion about which module the function refers to. I find Clojure and Common Lisp documentation quite complete for a lisp. I also find Ruby docs have tons of example code in its docs. Though I agree none is as beautiful as racket docs.

While I can certainly believe that more examples are needed, the second issue I don't understand. If you search for something, it tells you exactly what module it's from: https://docs.racket-lang.org/search/index.html?q=call-in-con for example.

Yeah, the "provided from <module>" part has been there for a long time.
