[racket-users] (chaperone RacketCon) 2020

In October 2020, we'll be holding a virtual RacketCon, rather than an in-person meeting as usual. We hope to get back to normal in 2021. We have not worked out the exact dates and details, but have a few parameters. We're thinking about following PLDI, where the general model is to have

Re: [racket-users] How to change package name on the package index?

I'm pleased to report that the "rename swap" of Originalname -> Originalname-x -> originalname worked like a charm :) It also preserved the metadata. Also, the dependent packages built successfully within about an hour of the upstream rename. Thank you both for your suggestions and input. If

[racket-users] identifier used out of context

Hi Racketeers, I’m creating a macro that collects values in the internal-definition context. E.g., ($list 1 (define x 2) x) should evaluate to '(1 2). Here’s my implementation, and it kinda works: #lang racket (begin-for-syntax (define ((do-it gs ctx) e) (let loop ([e e])

Re: [racket-users] How to change package name on the package index?

[racket-users] How to handle conflicts in packages?

I uploaded a new module, 'thread-with-id', and the package server tells me that there are conflicts. The message is: https://pkg-build.racket-lang.org/conflicts.txt doc "main": ekans lti-freq-domain-toolbox protobuf thread-with-id I'm not sure what this means -- I've looked through the

Re: [racket-users] How to handle conflicts in packages?

This most likely means that your documentation is in a file with a generic name like manual.scrbl which those packages also use. Sam On Fri, Jun 5, 2020, 11:20 AM David Storrs wrote: > I uploaded a new module, 'thread-with-id', and the package server tells me > that there are conflicts. The

[racket-users] Interpreting Racket profile stats

I'm looking at profiling some code for performance and tried out the Racket profile package but I'm not sure what the numbers mean. Here is a very simple example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23988370/thorough-guide-for-profiling-racket-code Here's a run from my actual code:
