$0.02, whitespace sensitivity is just bad ux in the long run. haskell can
get away with it more than python because haskell can be written more
concisely i feel than python. but even in H it is sorta unfortunate.
i like how iirc clojure uses sexprs but allows other kinds of parens,

Any one consider this style? Minimizing visual interference while
preserving parentheses. Even Java program can be written like Python.

I haven't followed all the discussion regarding a potential successor to
Racket. AFAIHS, no one actually has suggested a required indentation
scheme ala Python, but since source indentation (and formatting in
general) currently is under discussion, I wanted to make known my

As long as I don't have to keep reorganizing my code to accommodate the
tooling, then it's a night and day improvement. Would you mind terribly if I
worked with you? I was mulling over this myself in the dev list, but I am happy
to aid any existing effort.

For the record, it's probably better to stick with #px in all cases. The
vast majority of non-Racket code is based off the pcre library, which
stands for "Perl-compatible regular expressions" so if you stick with #px
the regex will be more familiar to more people. Plus, standardizing on one

This is very cool! One question -- for "main-distribution" packages,
are you snapshotting the most-recent release catalog? Or
pkgs.racket-lang.org? The latter is simpler, but the former is
probably needed to make the examples in the README work. Otherwise,

I'm in a similar position since I operate a few Racket applications.

Sam just suggested me in the other email thread that a much easier way to
do things is to download and install Minimal Racket, then install DrRacket
from source.

Hi,
I apologize in advance if my questions are naïve or have been asked
previously. I read the 'Building Racket from Source' guide and couldn't
find answers to some specific questions. I'm new to Git.
I'd like to download DrRacket's source and profile it, say to improve
scrolling performance
For your second point, you can never really know what other work depends on
your package. You could display a message in the new package or in the
readme for example, but that's likely not going to work well for
various reasons. (but see my last comment)
However, what Jay is saying I believe (corr
Thanks, Jens, much appreciated. I suspect I even knew this once and had since
forgotten it.
(I even glanced at the docs, saw the two kinds, but didn’t pause long enough to
wonder if it mattered to me.)
