Re: [racket-users] OpenSSL vs. NaCl/libsodium

Thanks Neil. I'm aware of the problem of implementation issues, in general, but I am new to Racket. So, if I understand correctly, this would argue for using the OpenSSL Racket module for TLS. I think that's the most sensitive part, in terms of C/C++ bugs and failures, since it's network

[racket-users] #lang languages and cyclic dependencies

I'm working on a #lang for configuration files for a larger project I'm working on, and I'm trying to find a setup that meets my (largely cosmetic) goals without producing a "standard-module-name-resolver: cycle in loading" error. Given the following directory structure: - my-project/ -

Hi Meino, Glad to hear everything is working now! Thanks for reporting this usability issue in the installer. I'll look into it. Vincent On Fri, 28 Apr 2017 19:42:24 -0500, tu...@posteo.de wrote: > > Hi Vincent, > > It was a layer eight error...(mine). > > It seems that answering "Yes" to

Re: [racket-users] DrRacket preferences error

I've thought about this a little bit and I don't think that a simple fix is forthcoming, so I've disabled the offending code for now and hope to return to this another time. The preferences dialog should now work for git-based builds (and assuming all goes well with the snapshots tonight, the

Re: [racket-users] DrRacket Accessibility with Screen readers

The Bootstrap project has been hard at work to make WeScheme accessible, including some sensible expand/collapse options for viewing code and options. See the post at http://www.bootstrapworld.org/blog/accessibility/User-Interface-REPL.shtml for some basic information. There are at least two

[racket-users] DR + light syntax layer + quickcheck

If someone hasn’t already done this, I’ve got a few CS Ed papers for sure…. I’m looking at Python now, but this should be much easier in Racket: I’d like to put together a simple syntax for unenforced data definitions and signatures, then use instructor help to map these to course-specific

[racket-users] Increasing speed of a simulation

I am working on an ant colony simulation/game/thing. Right now I'm using 2htdp/universe and 2htdp/image and the racket language. To represent an ant, I made a struct with a position, angle, and carrying-food?. To test the speed of the simulation I made a new ant with a random angle on every
