The RacketScript compiler [1] has been updated to work with Racket 7.x programs, ie all tests pass (though we are still working to support more primitives). Try it out here: http://rapture.twistedplane.com:8080/ The next milestone is to improve RacketScript enough to compile the Racket expander

Re: [racket-users] expanding to typed/racket using #lang turnstile

2019-10-31 Thread Stephen Chang
As William mentioned, the example conflates Typed Racket types with surface language types, which would probably not be right even if Typed Racket did not complain. Does your custom language have its own type system? If not, you may not need to use Turnstile. Plain macros that expand to Typed

2019-10-25 Thread Stephen Chang
I don't know of a more efficient way to convert, but depending on what operations you want, you might be able to compute it directly on the hash, e.g., see hash-has-key?, hash-keys-subset?, hash-union, etc. (I didnt know about some of the functions until recently.) On Fri, Oct 25, 2019 at 4:21 PM

I dont know much about J, but if I'm understanding correctly, you have an implementation of J in Typed Racket? And then you want to be able to infer more specialized cases in some instances by pruning the type? You might be able to do it with just plain macros in that case, which would generate

Sorry, the "workaround" was in regard to complex numbers. How to support them in a minimal way so that programs that dont use them are not blocked by lack of full support. On Fri, Nov 19, 2021 at 3:20 PM Sam Tobin-Hochstadt wrote: > > On Fri, Nov 19, 2021 at 3:13 PM Step
