Re: [racket-users] Ubuntu PPA also updated to v8.2
So I tried installing racket 8.2 from the experimental repos (downloaded it) and the dependencies (newer version of libc6) will break some things. So install at your own risk. I'll stick with 7.2 for now. Jul 30, 2021 7:31:55 PM David Bremner : > Joseph Turco writes: > >> Now we just need the Debian ppas to update to 8.2 for x86 and arm.

Sorry I have Ubuntu in my head. I didn't find the experimental packages. I'll check again. Many thanks.

Re: [racket-users] Ubuntu PPA also updated to v8.2
Now we just need the Debian ppas to update to 8.2 for x86 and arm. I'm more inclined for arm as building racket on a 64bit distro on a pi 400 hangs the OS.

Re: [racket-users] Question from a beginner. Why Racket Over Scheme?
I see. The stuff in HtDP, does it transfer over to any Racket syntax?

Re: [racket-users] Question from a beginner. Why Racket Over Scheme?
Sure! I have dabbled into python (but not fully, only learned variables, lists, dictionaries, for loops, if statements, while loops), but other than that i dont have much experience. I do not have a CS degree or (unfortunately) plan to get one. This is purely for a hobby. On Tue, Jul 13, 2021 at 10:22 AM John Clements wrote: > Good to hear from you!

[racket-users] Question from a beginner. Why Racket Over Scheme?
Hello, Im am looking at learning a programming language, and have been bouncing around with scheme/racket/dyalog APL/squeak. upon investigation of scheme and racket, i found that in regards to racket, there really isn't a "Beginners book" that teaches the language. The only beginner book i could really see being close to teaching the language is HtDP, but that doesn't *technically* teach racket, but BSL. For scheme, im able to find beginner books, unless im not looking deep enough. Maybe if you fine folk don't mind pointing me in the right direction?
