No need to stop at packages - whole languages. (I fancy doing Self when I am a better programmer) On Wed, 24 Feb 2016 at 21:23, Neil Van Dyke wrote: > Brian Adkins wrote on 02/24/2016 02:49 PM: > > it appears to me that Racket is the strongest of the Scheme-ey lisps, so >

It's always tricky when the bags of juices and meat get involved. :) I'm definitely planning to never stop throwing my weight into Racket. Robby On Wed, Feb 24, 2016 at 1:49 PM, Brian Adkins wrote: > On Wednesday, February 24, 2016 at 2:40:23 PM UTC-5, Robby Findler

Scheme is great. Racket isn't Scheme, although it draws a ton of inspiration from the language and it's design. Viva Scheme! Viva Racket! Robby On Wed, Feb 24, 2016 at 1:04 PM, Martin DeMello wrote: > I don't know about scheme being racket; both chicken and gambit seem

I don't know about scheme being racket; both chicken and gambit seem to have reasonably active communities. I was also surprised at the 16k hits for pony, which has essentially no ecosystem yet. but actually doing the google search it seems like there's tons of noise in there. martin On Wed,

Cool! Now we just need to find a way to detect when people say Scheme but really mean Racket. ;) Vincent On Wed, 24 Feb 2016 11:33:46 -0600, Brian Adkins wrote: > > On Wednesday, February 24, 2016 at 12:24:59 PM UTC-5, Vincent St-Amour wrote: > > If we add up the "Racket" and "Scheme"

Re: [racket-users] Programming language popularity (there's no accounting for taste!)

If we add up the "Racket" and "Scheme" numbers (the latter being, I suspect, mostly Racket), the total is pretty close to Ruby. I find that amusing. :) Actually, I'm curious what the numbers look like if you count "PLT Scheme" towards Racket. Vincent On Wed, 24 Feb 2016 11:06:51 -0600, Brian

[racket-users] Programming language popularity (there's no accounting for taste!)

I began compiling very crude statistics on programming language popularity back in 2009, and just kept doing it periodically. Initially I did it manually, but I finally got smart and wrote the following Racket program to scrape the results automatically:
