As someone who managed to write a 3 like Racket application without using
macros, I think they are overrated for application development. Macros are a
powerful and necessary feature for designing or extending a language, but most
people are better served by just using existing, well docu

No. In Racket, a DSL (aka minilanguage, syntax extensions, or macros)
can be a very small implementation effort that does exactly what one
wants, in a very maintainable way.
Also, I don't have a choi
Thank you all for your answers, I think I got it right this time, but I

I think what was confusing me was that I was thinking of Racket macros
like Common Lisp macros. Instead of trying to build a list
I get that I need formlet-process somewhere, but what I wanted is to only
know about it in the same function/closure where I am doing the rendering -
which obviously works in the definition of embed-formlet above, since it
embeds the url to format-process. I thought that embed-formlet would

So there's at least 7 of us around UK/Germany/France/Netherlands that
are active on the mailing list. What would we need at a European
Rackeeteers Meeting to ensure that *at least* all 7 of us would travel
to it ?
@Matthias - it'd be fantastic if we could arrange something in London or
Oxford. I
Hi again,
I am now trying to deal with formlets in a more principled fashion and thus
trying to implement, as Philip suggested, to use `send/formlet` and
`embed-formlet`. After a lot of tinkering, I still haven't figured out how
to actually process the formlet (without having to pass it around) wi
