IMO, the Racket language are great for:
  - learning of programming;
  - creating other languages (aka DSL);
  - creating prototypes (reliable enough to be used in production);
  - embedding into the large system written in C or C++ as a very
powerful extension language.
But for microservices there are many other specific options - Go for example.

Hello Matthew,

Congratulations! Thank you for good work! But I have a problem with Google
Translate. It seems that something wrong with layout.
Please, see the attachment with the screenshot.

True. And this notation is used in standard numeric conversion
functions in C, C++ and Common Lisp. So, I think it's reasonable to
use it in Racket.

[racket-users] Narrow radix of string->number.

[Dmitry Igrishin]

Hello,

Why the radix of string->number is narrowed to (2 16)? Shouldn't it be
(2 36)? There is a real need for it.

Thanks.

Re: [racket-users] racket-mode: OK to require Racket 6.0+?

Hi Greg,

Yes, please! Racket mode for Emacs is great. Thank you for you work!

[racket-users] Typo in license.html.

[Dmitry Igrishin]

Hello,

I've noticed a typo at https://download.racket-lang.org/license.html
- a double "for for" here:

"We have chosen the LGPL as the license for Racket, which makes it possible
for for"

 Any chance that could make it in as a DrRacket feature?

Btw, this question is a valuable reason why I love Lisp and Emacs -- it's
possible to
implement almost any desired feature on one's own without waiting from
vendor ;)

Re: [racket-users] What limits would you put on racket?

[Dmitry Igrishin]

 On Racket, CL, limits, programmers...

 I've found that most stuff can be done in Racket, and, though I have used
 CL when required by two consulting clients' prior implementation choices,
 I'm not aware that CL has any key advantages over Racket.  (Not bashing CL;
 it's a nice platform, with an unusually smart developer community.  And,
 earlier in Racket's development, CL was noticeably more proven and mature
 for industrial use.  I just have few complaints about being married Racket
 today, and there's no temptation to philander with CL.)

As for me, the most noticeable difference between Common Lisp and Racket
that the
most popular implementations of former provides facilities for multiple
/hardware/ threads
of execution. And this is one of the primary reasons why I use Common Lisp
as well.

[racket-users] Emacs Racket.

[Dmitry Igrishin]

Hello,

Is there are cool Emacs mode (such as SLIME for Common Lisp) for Racket?
Also, AFAIK as of 6.1.1 there are drracket-tool-lib. So, does anybody used
it
for build mode for Emacs?

Thanks.

Oops, sorry for noise, there are Geiser.

But still curios about using drracket-tool-lib.

Thanks.
