No, actually I, I don’t. Threading macros are a convenience, just like anonymous functions. I’d rather keep them simple and easy to use than add another term that needs to be provided 100% of the time that I’ll only take advantage of 5% of the time. As for compile-time infinite loops: I can’t imagine how that could possibly occur, but if you can demonstrate such a problem, that sounds like a bug. As for simpler to keep in your head: [citation needed]. The original threading macro is a simple macro that unwinds nested function application. Implementation aside, I find that the most intuitive way to visualize it—introducing binding makes that more complicated, not less. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
