I agree, though I don't have much RoR experience. However, that isn't where the action is in web frameworks these days. My opinion is that it resides in two areas: 1. rich clients -- that is, interfaces that use a lot of Javascript. Here FRP within the browser and between the browser and server would be a big win. Interesting to stuff to look at: Opa, WebSharper, (and Javascript frameworks like backbone.js, and the Scala reactive project, etc.) 2. Scalable servers like https://github.com/jdegoes/blueeyes Both could be addressed from Racket. I'm not convinced it really has the computing horsepower to do a bang-up job for #2 (certainly it has the abstractions) but then neither does Node.js and that doesn't stop Node's extremely active supporters.

[racket-dev] racket/draw and whalesong?
On Robby and Matthew's suggestion that I look into implementing the primitives of racket/draw, I took a look at the implementation. If I understand this correctly, it looks like I need to implement the methods of the drawing context interface, right? (If so, there's one obstacle that I'll need to tackle first, which is to get Whalesong to compile and execute racket/class. At the moment, I don't have enough of the primitives coded up to support the class library.) _ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/dev
[racket-dev] cannot disable libffi
I am trying to compile racket for a different architecture that libffi is not ported to so I tried to use --disable-libffi but foreign/libffi still gets configured. A) should that be happening and B) is there a way around it? $ ../configure --disable-libffi --host=x86 ... configure: error: libffi has not been ported to x86-unknown-none. configure: error: ../../../foreign/libffi/configure failed for foreign/libffi _ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/dev
Re: [racket-dev] cannot disable libffi
Ah it was --disable-foreign. --disable-libffi is to use the bundled ffi instead of the host one, or something.
