What you have is fine, but you need to give it a DC where get-gl-context doesn't return false. (Such as by making a canvas with the 'gl style.) In addition, you do NOT want a legacy context. I recommend looking at the example code:

Has something changed recently in the CSS for the Racket documentation? I thought that formerly the phone layout was equivalent to what happens if you manually resize a desktop/laptop browser window to be quite narrow: the sidebar / table of contents goes away and a navigation bar appears at the

The main thing I worry about is that there are standard conventions that we're missing from other language families. Would someone mind investigating a few other, popular languages to see what they do so that can be taken into account? And perhaps pointing to the docs or showing some example code?

I don't see any reason why not, and it doesn't seem (by the discussion) that anyone is strongly against. Would you be interested in submitting a pull request to extend `string->number`? You'd probably want to extend `number->string` as well, and possibly others. Vincent On Thu, 22 Dec 2016

One small point: I think it was good in the old site to have a link to the documentation right at the top, where now there are just "Packages" and "Download". We have great documentation (with a great design, thanks to Matthew!), better put it forward :) > 2. Greyed out code snippets - I am
