Re: [racket-dev] getting a language level without starting drracket

2010-12-08 Thread Robby Findler
For the #lang-based teaching languages, I hope to eventually move to
the sandbox for DrRacket. For the language-dialog based ones, I don't
plan to change them, just leaving them as legacy until people stop
using them.

So I'd suggest giving the sandbox a try and seeing if you can get the
stepper working in it as that'll be needed eventually anyways.

[racket-dev] getting a language level without starting drracket

2010-12-08 Thread John Clements
Several aspects of the stepper's behavior depend on the language level that the 
user is in.  Historically, the division between graphical and non-graphical 
apps has meant that it's simpler for the stepper to make up a fake language 
level, rather than get a "real" one for testing.  However, the world looks 
different now.  How difficult would it be for a racket app to get a 
language-level% corresponding to a given module path, for use in testing?  This 
would also bring the testing substantially closer to the implementation.
