Hi spdegabrielle, no apologies please. Actually, I did not or probably could not make myself clearly when I wrote that reply. I had felt depressed since this mail-list is not as active as before. At the first sight I saw your topic, I thought there should be more topics like this, but not only concentrate on the low-risk tasks, to help others (especially new members) understand Racket and its ability, because sometimes they ask "does Racket fit their task" but get less answers... Besides, I think lot's of members in the community are not the typical programmers, they have special knowledge other than programming, and they also use Racket to deal with their work, all these situations could be count in.
Never mind, let's get back on topic. I added two low-risk ways that fit Racket's sweet spot because Scribble is the greatest documentation tool, I use it to generate high quality docs in the real world projects, some other interesting tasks, such as unit testing, diagramming or visualization, are integrated with it seamlessly. As a programmable programming language, Racket also provides lots of ways to cowork with other languages, one way is, say, front-end guys make a lot of alternatives to CSS to overcome its weakness, working with Racket as a preprocessor, all those alternatives are useless. I like talking about the documentation, one reason is that other low-risk tasks are talked too much by wide programmers; the other reason is that, I like the idea behind the Racket and Scribble. Actually I think the docs of the main distribution is already a great example, entries are organized compactly, each entry focus on one topic, no duplicates, contents are made with simple examples, most of them are trying to talk with readers, although it may too verbose as a wiki page. Currently I am working for a startup as a full-stack Racket developer, but it is not a computer or internet project, everything needs to be setup. Okay, wordy again. :P On Fri, Sep 30, 2016 at 6:52 PM, spdegabrielle <[email protected]> wrote: > OK I've started with: https://github.com/racket/ > racket/wiki/Low-risk-ways-you-can-use-Racket-at-work > > Please feel free to edit/delete/move/rearrange as you see fit. > > S. > > PS Davids thing sounds awesome! > PPS I'm sorry Ju.
