[racket-users] trending racket repos on github

2017-10-31 Thread 'John Clements' via Racket Users
Thanks to Andreas Per Olsson’s post on the Racket Facebook group, I found out about this link https://github.com/trending/racket?since=monthly which lists the Racket repos that are “trending”. I think this has something to do with the number of stars it has. Anyhow… interesting information.

One other relatively easy project would be to add sha256 to the openssl library. https://docs.racket-lang.org/openssl/index.html There is a version of sha256 implemented in https://github.com/RayRacine/grommet but it's for Typed Racket only. I know that it's possible to use TR from untyped code,

I’ve installed Racket 6.11 from the dmg file supplied on the website. However, I’ve had to link binaries into /usr/local/bin one by one as I find something that I’m missing. Is there documentation of which binaries to link into /usr/local/bin ? Jeremiah Peschka -- You received this message

A better strategy may be to add /etc/paths.d/racket as a file that contains the path to your Racket installation. For example, the path to put in that file is /Applications/Racket v6.11/bin if you've installed the current release into the "Applications" folder. At Tue, 31 Oct 2017 15:25:14
