Re: [racket-users] Can anyone help me with a change?

Okay, this might now be done. You should be able to install it using raco pkg install simply-scheme OR you can use the package manager from within DrRacket. MAJOR disclaimer: I am not a user of Simply Scheme, and this package does not appear to include any tests. However, it appears that

Re: [racket-users] Can anyone help me with a change?

Okay, I spent half an hour on this, and I think I’m done… um, almost. Actually, it appears that my quick job of updating the drracket tool has resulted in a configuration that can reliably make DrRacket seg fault (!). Since this package does not involve FFI in any way, this is a bug in

[racket-users] proposed doc fix?

The documentation currently states: "When DrRacket starts up, it looks for tools by reading fields in the info.rkt file of each collection and the newest version of each PLaneT package installed on the system. (Technically, DrRacket looks in a cache of the "info.rkt" files contents created by

Re: [racket-users] Can anyone help me with a change?

While I appreciate the level of detail that Stephen provided, I am absolutely slammed and don't know github usage, so what looks smallish to you (and probably would be for me if I were better educated on the system) is looking mighty large to me. In terms of the fix, what needs to change is that

Re: [racket-users] Open source projects

I could be missing something, but I think a filename completion procedure (not the DrRacket integration part) might be a doable exercise for a budding Racket programmer, so long as they already have a basic familiarity with using the filesystem and shell as a normal user. Point them to the

Re: [racket-users] Open source projects

+1. The specific use case for me is super-scripty things like this: (csv->list “~/clements/datasets/poly-dashboards/2178-data-schedule.csv’) … to load a file from disk. One could make the claim that I should choose paths and filenames that I always remember, but in fact, shell-based completion

Re: [racket-users] Define/override for mouse event?

They way I look at it is the Racket/gui libraries are already calling the ‘on-event’ method, you have to override their calls so your code can pass mouse events to your code. I suppose the trade-off is your code should work on windows, Linux and macOS with no change. Kind regards, Stephen On

Re: [racket-users] Can anyone help me with a change?

I don’t think packages on PLaneT can be updated but I may be wrong. I have moved things from PLaneT to the Racket Package system, and it isn’t very hard, certainly wasn’t time consuming (an evening). 1. Make a new github repo 2. add the old code, 3. Run it to see what breaks 4. Fix it - I don’t

Hi, I’ve taken it upon myself to add the map link to the github wiki homepage https://github.com/racket/racket/wiki - with the hope that it will help provide a way for Racketeers to meetup. The wiki incidentally includes some advice on starting a local meetup
