[racket-dev] A basic package system

2011-07-26 Thread Jay McCarthy
Eli and I had a very useful conversation last night and we realized that a lot of the ideal package system we are imagining is within our reach very quickly. Today I made a demonstration of our ideas: https://github.com/jeapostrophe/exp/tree/master/pkgs There's a README there. Once you read it,
