Neil, Let me respond to your argument with a specific question.
Below is some code that sets up fluid-like dynamic variable bindings using Jay's web-cells. I haven't put this code up on GitHub (or elsewhere) (define/contract (make-dyno-bindings ids) (-> (listof symbol?) (listof (cons/c symbol? web-cell?))) (map (λ (id) (cons id (make-web-cell null))) ids)) (with-continuation-mark 'globals (make-dyno-bindings bindings) ((lambda () ..... Variables are scoped both dynamically and by Jay's send/suspend primitive. Effectively, this results in per-client, dynamically scoped variables. Perhaps this is a super-dumb idea, but, if so, its a super-dumb idea that could only be implemented in Racket. Where does the code go to get users looking at (and hopefully talking) about the super-dumb idea? As I've written to Robby, I don't think the problem is too many people implementing bad Scheme using Racket. I think the problem is not enough people implementing the post-Flatt, Yu, Findler and Felleisen et. al language. R./ Zack ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
