I am working on a little project to remotely drive a VR headset with code written in Racket as an attempt to make a significantly faster development environment for certain types of VR apps. I am worried about what appears to be the compile speed.
It takes over three seconds from hitting ctrl-R in DrRacket to executing the first statement of a 350 line typed racket program. It only uses: #lang typed/racket/base (require racket/tcp) That seems to be about twice as slow as a larger untyped racket program using a bunch more stuff, but even that isn't great: #lang racket (require 2htdp/universe) (require 2htdp/image) (require 2htdp/planetcute) (require (only-in racket/gui/base play-sound)) Does Run from DrRacket have a significant time penalty? Are there any steps I can take to make typed racket compile faster? In many cases I don't care much about the execution speed. I would like to think that compiling and running a few hundred lines of code on a modern desktop system should be essentially instant. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
