Re: [racket-users] Override Methods in framework

The intention of the edit-menu:between- methods is that you add menu items to the argument menu and then supply that same method to the super call (if you make the super call). Like the below, for example (but this creates a submenu). #lang racket/gui (require framework) (define ext-frame%

[racket-users] scribble output redirection

It seems scribble likes to put its output where the document source is, with a different file extension. I like to separate my source code from generated files. (1) How can I tell scribble to place the generated html into a different directory? Is there a command line option for this? (2)

[racket-users] Typed Racket unsafe-provide with contract?

I'm writing some Typed Racket code that works with syntax objects, which currently can't be converted to contracts since syntax chaperones aren't a thing. As a result, if I want untyped racket users to use my library, I have to `unsafe-provide` functions in my module. However, all of my

[racket-users] opinion needed on best fix for handin-server problem

Currently, the handin-server runs student expressions in an ‘eval’ which intercepts errors and re-raises them with a message that includes the failing expression. All good. However, it doesn’t catch all of them. Specifically, if the exception contains any values that are opaque to

Re: [racket-users] Re: number->string format guarantees

I think number->string is intended to be like `write` (ie written to be read back in hopefully without losing anything) and maybe you want something that's more in the spirit of `display`? (I.e., show something to a human in a hopefully useful format (at least that's how I see the difference

[racket-users] Re: number->string format guarantees

This is complicated by single-flonums which seem to pretty out in the reading format: (number->string 3f0) ===> "3.0f0" which is likely to look like an error to users. This makes me feel like I should never use number->string to show something to a user... which seems strange. On Wed, Apr 20,

Re: [racket-users] Order of argument conventions, or ... conventions of argument ordering

Not to give an excuse to design the argument order poorly... it would be great if DrRacket could display named place-holders for each argument dynamically. Then you wouldn't need to guess or try to remember illogical set of parameter orders. The argument name could be taken dynamically from the
