Description

Hello,
I hope you are well !
I have a question about DrRacket and Racket. I would like to know how the two communicate. Is it in the same process or separate processes? How does it work, is it synchronous like Tree-sitter or asynchronous like LSP? Are there requests sent by the IDE to the compiler so that the compiler returns information such as parenthesis errors for example? In short, I would like to understand a little how it works. I would like to have this information for educational reasons.
Thanks very much !
