Hi, Am I going mad or has the version number on the nightly build gone back from 6.12 to 6.90.0.20? (or is that a massive jump forwards?) Kind regards, Stephen -- Process: DrRacket [1813] Path: /private/var/folders/*/DrRacket.app/Contents/MacOS/DrRacket Identifier:

[racket-users] deprecating a package (and redirecting users to new version)

[racket-users] Licence guidance

Hi, I sometimes see Racket packages on PLaneT or Github, but lack a licence. I don’t feel I can redistribute or fork abandoned code if it lacks a licence. (I can give an example of an 11yo abandoned project that I’d love to fork but can’t because it lacks a licence) With that in mind- what

Re: [racket-users] Licence guidance

Thank you all. Sounds like a case-by-case approach is probably best. I did find the github licence advice pages. It seems that not choosing a licence is probably a bad choice when publishing a racket package: https://choosealicense.com/no-permission/ I can't believe I missed the Racket licence

Re: [racket-users] hackernews

I always wanted to ask if the prototype object model is a good idea or bad idea? The same question applies to Morphic User Interface Construction Environment - good idea or bad idea? Given neither idea seems to have caught on I’m assuming both are dead ends? Kind regards, Stephen > On 27

[racket-users] triggering servlet on GET parameters

Hi, I'm fooling around with #lang web-server/insta, and I can serve .html files by setting (static-files-path page-root), but I'd like to trigger my servlet if there is a '?action=edit' parameter set. e.g https://localhost/start.html just serves the file (I can do this!)

[racket-users] Racket ‘topic’(tag) on github

Hi, https://github.com/topics/racket I recently noticed the github topic for Racket wasn’t as nice as that for clojure – it lacked a description and logo. So I logged a pr. https://github.com/github/explore/pull/522 With this info:

Re: [racket-users] [meta] Tags for racket-users posts?

Hi, Can tags be optional? The absence of tags is a signifier in itself. I like module(package?) announcements. > barrier to entry In addition to the mailing list, slack & IRC, there are a lot of channels where new people go to ask Racket questions: Facebook Group ‘Racket’:

[racket-users] [how to] search for #lang languages in packages and GitHub?

Hi, A couple of days ago I finally noticed the search link for docs.racket-lang.org #lang module documentation: http://docs.racket-lang.org/search/index.html?q=H%3A (170!) I was very pleased to see this because I had no idea how many languages had been developed. I recently found #lang pop-pl

[racket-users] Continue (into the future?)

Hi, While looking at an issue with the rendering of the Continue tutorial, I got to thinking that Continue, as a flagship tutorial for Racket, needs new sections to cover changes in web development practice, especially supporting client side web frameworks(angular,Ember,Vue,React) by building

Adding a {} after @devthing[...] to get @devthing[...]{} didn't fix the vertical spacing between the lines. What I did: @defthing[request-bindings (request? . -> . bindings?)]{} I took a look at asn1 https://github.com/rmculpepper/asn1/blob/master/asn1-doc/scribblings/types.scrbl

Hi Sorawee, This is a blight on an otherwise brilliant tutorial. Sadly I don't have the time to resolve it. Lacking a clear solution I've added an issue https://github.com/racket/web-server/issues/50 A short term solution much be to drop @defthing[] and use a monospace font, maybe using @tt[]?

Re: [racket-users] project idea: drracket notebook mode

Like Maxima? DrRacket interactions already does most of what Jupyter and Maxima does, but lacks the functionality of cells, and the ability to re-evaluate them. Would this replace ‘interactions’, or would it be a new editor<%>? It’s a great idea - it seems a little like ‘code bubbles’, but for
