Sorry for the delay (I was moving earlier this week). Thank you for taking a crack at the task. One question I have is whether or not the scopes feature is something which I can more or less count on being available in future versions of Racket (I understand that it's from a snapshot and might therefore undergo some changes before it would be released, but I would like to know if at least the functionality should be there).
It may be a moot point in light of your syntactic solution, but I was wondering what the list's thoughts were on a partial implementation I came up with before you responded (it has the same "no macros" issue): I managed to get a runtime solution working using namespaces. Aside from macros, I believe that it implements most every feature the the CL package system does. There is a `*package*` parameter which is used to resolve unknown definitions (using an override of `#%top` which calls `namespace-variable-value` using the current package's namespace). I have attached the (somewhat messy) file for others to look at. What would be more racket-y/a better design approach: a more macro-oriented solution like what I was initially discussing and what Dr. Flatt wrote, or a more runtime-oriented solution like the (slightly messy) attached file (I'm not sure how to handle macros in that case, though...Maybe the list has some ideas :) )? Dr. Felleisen & Ryan: thank you for the link to that paper and webpage. The paper gave me the impression that I might be able to get some ideas from scmxlate. When I have a chance, I'll have to take a good look at the program itself. > On May 10, 2015, at 19:04, Matthias Felleisen <matth...@ccs.neu.edu> wrote: > > Probably off-topic: you might be interested in > > http://repository.readscheme.org/ftp/papers/sw2003/Scmxlate.pdf > > Start with the title and then the summary at the end. Dorai has used this package to make his programs available in Schemes and Common Lisps. The PDF in question references a dead page for the software.
