Re: [racket-users] Syntax Parse Bee 2021

[Ben Greenman]

The competition is now closed.

Thank you to the participants!!!

We received 22 entries from 15 individuals:

 https://github.com/syntax-objects/Summer2021/issues

The final results of these submissions cover a wide range. Some are macros
that you could use in any Racket project. Others are syntax classes. Still
others are more like starter code for a new DSL.

The code inside these submissions is **very** informative. Whether you're
new to macros or a seasoned syntax parser, there is a lot to learn from.

Re: [racket-users] Syntax Parse Bee 2021

[Stephen De Gabrielle]

The bee is still on!
Have you made a contribution yet?

Write a macro with Racket this summer! Win stickers!

The purpose of this event is to grow the syntax-parse-example documentation
and repository to grow as a resource for the Racket community. (You can
also contribute directly to the syntax parse examples repository)

It's like a Quilting Bee, but for syntax parse macros!

It’s very exciting seeing the entries pouring in.

Reminder: Racket includes a macro debugger
 to make it easier
for the experienced to debug their macros and for beginners to study their
behaviour: https://docs.racket-lang.org/macro-debugger/index.html

[racket-users] Syntax Parse Bee 2021

[Ben Greenman]

Hi folks,

*Write a macro with Racket this summer! Win stickers!*

The purpose of this event is to grow the syntax-parse-example documentation
and repository to grow as a resource for the Racket community. But you do
not need to submit a full example to win stickers --- any syntax-parse
macro counts.

*It's like a Quilting Bee, but for syntax parse macros!*

Ground Rules:

   - you can write any macro as long as it uses syntax-parse somehow
   - enter as many times as you like
   - the first 20 individuals who enter will win exclusive stickers
   - open July 1 to September 1

Submit by opening an issue here:

https://github.com/syntax-objects/Summer2021/issues/new?assignees==entry=enter-the-syntax-parse-bee.md=%5Bentry+-+name%2Fdescription+of+macro%5D

To help you get started, we suggest two categories of before-and-after
macro:

   1. *Code Cleaning* : Introduce a macro where there was none before. Look
   for ways to make your source code more beautiful and/or less repetitive.
   2. *Macro Engineering* : Use the tools in syntax-parse to improve an
   existing  macro (which may or may not currently use syntax-parse). Try to
   make the old macro more maintainable, more robust against errors, and/or
   more flexible.

Updates will be via Racket News, Racket-Users, Slack, Discord & Reddit.

Whatever you decide, we hope that you learn and have fun!

- Ben + Stephen


PS a 'Bee' is a community effort toward a common goal. A quilting bee is for
making a quilt. In this case the quilt is a patchwork of syntax-parse
macros.
