You can use it with keyword-apply (define (foo #:x x) (+ x 3)) (keyword-apply foo (list (string->keyword "x")) (list 8) '()) ;; ==> 11 http://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/procedures.html#%28def._%28%28lib._racket%2Fprivate%2Fbase..rkt%29._keyword-apply%29%29 On Mon, Jan 9, 2017 at 12:47 PM,

[racket-users] Dynamically generated keywords -- are they possible?

2017-01-09 Thread David Storrs
What should string->keyword be used for? I was expecting this to work but it does not: (define (foo #:x x) (+ x 3)) (foo (string->keyword "x") 8) ; foo: arity mismatch; ; the expected number of arguments does not match the given number ; expected: 0 plus an argument with keyword #:x ;
