Okay a bunch of changes: 1) collected Racket CS changes at the top. 2) removed “stencil-vector” — that explains why my online search for “stencil-vector HAMTs” didn’t turn up much. 3) used rewritten bullet to include “continuation-graft” call-out.
4) Doc links are a good idea. I think the “right way” to handle this is to have a scribble language that generates both text and blog text, but I know that setting that up will take me north of 2 hours. If anyone feels like … ugh, okay, let’s see what this looks like. Sigh. #lang at-exp racket (require scribble/manual) (define doc-root "https://docs.racket-lang.org/"; ) (define http-client-ref "net/http-client.html?q=net%2Fhttp-client") (define call-in-continuation-ref "reference/cont.html?q=call-in-continuation#(def._((quote._~23~25kernel)._call-in-continuation))") (define call-with-current-language-def "string-constants/index.html?q=call-with-current-language#%28def._%28%28lib._string-constants%2Fstring-constant..rkt%29._call-with-current-language%29%29”) (define (doc-link url-fragment text) (link (string-append doc-root url-fragment) text)) @itemlist[ @item{Racket CS remains ready for production use---thanks to those who have been putting it into practice to help iron out the remaining kinks---and it now supports a C API for embedding into other applications.
