I have a shallow understanding of GNU Make, which is only somewhat less-shallow as a result of recently redesigning my blog to be Makefile-driven. In the process I learned to like using make variables. I learned that a variable can be populated from make functions like $(wildcard) $(patsubst) and

I think the tool to use depends on what you want to achieve =) Do you have an example of what you think is missing? I like the idea that maybe you want to make use racket to generate some Makefile's to your liking. Maybe using #lang scribble/text Best Regards, David On 2019-04-16 22:13,

Hendrik, What is that you are trying to do, maybe you are misunderstanding some concept about make? It seems to me that the whole point of make is to "run a program" whenever some of the files have changed. Regards, David On 2019-04-16 21:25, Hendrik Boom wrote: I'm sending this here, not

I'm sending this here, not because it's directly related to Racket, nor because i think you all are experts in make or GNU make, but because you are reasonable erudite in language appreciation. I, like many others, have been using a Makefile as a recipe to make a lot of files from other files.

I use Racket daily in production at Mercury Filmworks (Disney TVA, Amazon, Netflix productions among others), and I wish I could talk more about how Racket helps us where it counts. If there was to be an evangelist, I'd be a candidate, however 1) I don't consider myself a good Racket

I suspect I'm not the first to ask, but my search-fu has failed me here. Apologies if the question has already been answered on that list. When I read Racket docs I sometimes wonder how a particular feature is implemented. Looking at the source sometimes shed light or simply teaches you
