Re: [racket-users] Could Racket be used as a "frontend" for a non-Racket language?

nice, yes, I've long wanted that, in general. Like, I want to use {erlang,ADA,haskell,typescript,go,...} but with s-expr's and macros. One could instead perhaps leverage Graal and things like ABCL or Clojure? You could in theory use something like XMLVM and Clojure to at least cover C#/.net and

Re: [racket-users] Werid contract violation blame erros

Clueless newb here. Wait, why can't we have both? As a joe programmer on the street I would want the blame to be on b.rkt, and also on any function calling f() incorrectly from inside a.rkt. Reading this thread it sounds to me like that's not easily available? On Wed, Apr 7, 2021 at 4:22 PM Robby

Re: [racket-users] Reducing parentheses without language damage.

$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, fairly

Re: [racket-users] Re: typed/racket + rackunit = trouble

It looks like it is a perennial truth of the universe that math is hard. I don't know of a language ecosystem where "equals" is 'easy', because it is subjective. Seems like offering different kinds of equality testing is a reasonable approach. Having any kind of preferred fundamental equality
