I got GRacket2 running under Ubuntu. In general, things work as expected. It is my animations that I'm most concerned about and some work and some don't. I've only tried the ones that are available on PLaneT - I haven't even checked any of the others yet. The animated-canvas library that I have

[racket-dev] Scribble Racket Code with Here Strings

2010-10-29 Thread Doug Williams
I sometimes use here strings for readability when building queries, etc. For example: (let-values (((variables results) (get-repository-query-tuple r #--- select * from {x} sys:repositoryID {y} using namespace sys = http://www.openrdf.org/config/repository# ---

Re: [racket-dev] Yikes! Images in science collection could be much smaller

2010-10-29 Thread Doug Williams
I'm in the process of updating all of my collections to Racket. I have most of the smaller ones done - animated-canvas, describe (with documentation this time), packed-binary, and uuid - with only table-panel left to go. Right now I'm finishing up the documentation for my new sesame library - an

[racket-dev] Equality test for Not-A-Number

2010-10-27 Thread Doug Williams
What is the correct way to test for +nan.0 in Racket? For example, (= +nan.0 +nan.0) = #f. This seems to be the behavior specified in R6RS. In the science collection I implemented nan? using eqv?, which seems to work in Racket; but the result is explicitly unspecified in R6RS, which I assume means

I downloaded the pre-release version this morning - 10/20 (I believe it was a build from 10/16). The plot package and plot extensions in the science collection all work as expected. But, I am getting different numeric answers for some of my science collection routines (for example, the gamma
