Even for blue-sky projects without any legacy lock-in, I don't fancy our chances with the enterprise/MIS crowd. They tend to favor straight-jacket languages, and for good reason! For some guy running a two-man startup, something like Racket is a super weapon. For a large organization--with

Probably counterproductive. I've still got a bad taste about Rust from all of their people bombing the C and embedded threads--everywhere. Hard to top HN itself for Racket evangelism. It's written in Arc, which is written in Racket. On Thursday, December 13, 2018 at 5:53:41 PM UTC-6, Neil

[racket-users] Posting Events To Window Asynchronously From Different Thread?

2018-11-19 Thread Jason Stewart
In Windows, we have a SendMessage() function for dispatching a window event synchronously, and PostMessage() for asynchronously queuing an event to a specified window from any thread. Is there a way to do PostMessage() from Racket's GUI library? Eventspaces feels warm, but couldn't find what I
