Looks great! I'll keep this in mind next time I'm working with env configs. 
Here are
some comments:

- Using `for` expressions would make recursion unnecessary, and it cooperates 
well with in-lines.
- Racket style generally prefers lists, first, and rest to raw pairs and the 
c*r functions.
- You can put your test submodules anywhere, they don't have to be in main.rkt. 
So in dotenv/private/tests.rkt you don't need to define and export a suite, you 
can just use (module+ test ...). Running raco test -p  will 
run all test submodules found anywhere in the package.
- It looks like the generated scribble files got included in your repo. I 
typically add html, js, and css files to my .gitignore to avoid that.
- If you move your (require rackunit) expressions into your test submodules, 
rackunit will be a build dependency instead of a runtime dependency.
- Using @defproc[] in your scribble docs will make the exports of dotenv 
searchable.
- Contracts and contract-out make it easy to add argument checking to 
functions, I recommend using them.

This is the first Lisp-family code I've published, so that's exciting.
Any feedback the list has to offer regarding style, approach, or

Re: [racket-users] Suppress print lines from required modules

[Shu-Hung You]

Parameterizing current-output-port to (open-output-string) redirects
the output to a string. Something along the line of (open-output-file
"/dev/null") sounds a bit better but I'm not sure how to create a
discard-everything output port.

(define ns (make-base-namespace))

(parameterize ([current-namespace ns])
  (eval '(module a racket
   (displayln "a line from module a")
   (provide x)
   (define x 5

(printf "value of x is ~a\n"
(parameterize ([current-namespace ns]
   [current-output-port (open-output-string)])
  (dynamic-require ''a 'x)))

[racket-users] Suppress print lines from required modules

[Sam Waxman]

Let's say I have a module that looks like

(module a racket
   (provide result)
   (print "Annoying print line!")
   (define result 2))

and I'd like the value of result in another module, so in another module, I 
write

(require a)

or

(dynamic-require ''a 'result)

In both cases, I get the value of result, but by requiring the module, the 
print line "Annoying print line!" will show up on my screen and be part of the 
output of the program.

Is there a way to get the value of result from module a without triggering the 
print, or hiding it in some way? I've played around with print-handlers, but it 
seems anything I do outside of module a won't affect the printer inside module 
a.

There is the Envy library for parsing environment variables, but there doesn't 
seem to be anything for loading .env files. Personally, I think this would be a 
great place to make a #lang that worked something like this:

#lang dotenv
my-library-num-workers = 5
my-library-tmpdir = "/tmp/my_library"

... and then if you `require` it, it sets the current environment. Or maybe it 
gives you a function to execute a thunk with the new environment. The advantage 
to using a #lang here instead of a file is your dotenv file is you no longer 
need to do any parsing or file IO at runtime and your env file is just a normal 
code module imported like any other. Plus you could write a syntax highlighter 
to make it easy to edit the env files in DrRacket.

[racket-users] Spacemacs Light & Dark Color Schemes for DrRacket

[Christopher Walborn]

A few years back I added a DrRacket color scheme template to the Base16 project 
and hosted a collection of these schemes which a few people have found useful. 
Base16 has since changed and I haven't kept up with it. That old collection 
should still work, but has always required some fine-detail massaging of 
individual colors to really work well together in DrRacket. I probably won't 
touch that repo again.

However, I've now ported the Spacemacs light and dark themes for Emacs to 
DrRacket color schemes. They are done manually and match the Emacs themes 
pretty closely, and I'm far more likely to update these since I tend to switch 
between them regularly.

Here's the repo, including a couple screenshots:

[racket-users] Racket dotenv file loading

['Royall Spence' via Racket Users]

I'm starting work on a Racket library for loading .env files to override 
environment variables. This is a common way of doing things for people who want 
to run multiple web applications on a single server without their environment 
variables competing for namespace. The classic example is this Ruby library: 
https://github.com/bkeepers/dotenv

Just checking to make sure I haven't overlooked an already existing library 
that provides this behavior. Should I keep going?

Other things I did around the same time the blue boxes disappeared were 
tinkering with the preferences a bit and 'raco pkg migrate
6.9'. But I didn't find any relevant preference that turns them off (there was 
something about blue boxes and background expansion
but turning that on/off doesn't help) and it did not seem to me that the 
migrate command would have messed anything up.

Anyone has any idea what might have happened? I'd like those back. Maybe I'm 
just missing some preference or something. I'm using a
64-bit Windows 10, in case that is relevant.

Re: [racket-users] Can't seem to find the blue box(es) in DrRacket anymore

[Laurent]

Same problem for me on 6.10.0.3 on Ubuntu 64bits. Unchecking then
rechecking the blue box checkbox in the preferences doesn't change
anything. I'll make a bug report.

[racket-users] Can't seem to find the blue box(es) in DrRacket anymore

[hashim muqtadir]

Hello,
I recently updated to Racket 6.10 and I cannot seem to find the blue boxes in 
the top right of the definitions and interactions windows anymore. They don't 
show up by pressing the hotkey (f2) either. There's no error or anything, just 
nothing happens. External help works, i.e. pressing f1 opens up the docs search 
in my browser.

Other things I did around the same time the blue boxes disappeared were 
tinkering with the preferences a bit and 'raco pkg migrate 6.9'. But I didn't 
find any relevant preference that turns them off (there was something about 
blue boxes and background expansion but turning that on/off doesn't help) and 
it did not seem to me that the migrate command would have messed anything up.

Anyone has any idea what might have happened? I'd like those back. Maybe I'm 
just missing some preference or something. I'm using a 64-bit Windows 10, in 
case that is relevant.

Regards,
Hashim.
