Hi List,
Short version: is there an implementation of
http://www.dwheeler.com/readable/sweet-expressions.html for
typed/racket or just racket?
Long version:
The past few days I've gotten really excited about the possibilities of
using the Racket for my projects. I'm mostly a self-taught programmer
without a CS or scheme background. Currently I'm working on a rather
large (web)application project, consisting of: haXe, some Scala, PHP
(unfortunately) a bit of D and modifications to C/C++
I tend to make enough typo's in my coding to appreciate static typing.
Having tried scheme and lisp now and then, I couldn't really get over
everything being dynamically typed - (as well not finding any mentioning
or guarantees about performance, memory usage or anything like that).
Typed Racket got me very excited.
I 'get' the lovelyness of code as data, as i've written a few code
generators to reduce boilerplate. But getting my head to read the deeper
nested (if (some thing) (else branch)) structures is somewhat painfull.
Especially for my colleagues who never have tried programming in any
lisp or even heard of it.
I noticed the Holu language, but couldn't find any examples of what it
might look like. Can languages like holy and typed/racket be combined
somehow? Again I've just started using DrRacket so maybe these are all
very obvious questions.
Thanks!
