While I feel your pain, I think we should try to move beyond the implicit dichotomy here. I want Racket to have a numeric tower that is: a) easy to get the right answer with b) efficient c) works well with Typed Racket (meaning that it's possible to reason about statically) I think that we're not there yet, but I'm not giving up. More specifically, what aspects of the numeric tower are a hassle? We should think about how they can be less of a hassle, without giving up the other things we want. -- sam th sa...@ccs.neu.edu _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/dev
