Re: [racket-users] Generate function defintions at compile time

As someone who managed to write a 3 like Racket application without using macros, I think they are overrated for application development. Macros are a powerful and necessary feature for designing or extending a language, but most people are better served by just using existing, well

Re: [racket-users] Generate function defintions at compile time

Thank you all for your answers, I think I got it right this time, but I would still appreciate feedback: https://gitlab.com/HiPhish/neovim.rkt/blob/master/nvim/api.rkt I think what was confusing me was that I was thinking of Racket macros like Common Lisp macros. Instead of trying to build a list

Re: [racket-users] European Racketeers and conferences

So there's at least 7 of us around UK/Germany/France/Netherlands that are active on the mailing list. What would we need at a European Rackeeteers Meeting to ensure that *at least* all 7 of us would travel to it ? @Matthias - it'd be fantastic if we could arrange something in London or Oxford.

Re: [racket-users] How to build new formlets that allow passing default values (such as hidden)?

Hi again, I am now trying to deal with formlets in a more principled fashion and thus trying to implement, as Philip suggested, to use `send/formlet` and `embed-formlet`. After a lot of tinkering, I still haven't figured out how to actually process the formlet (without having to pass it around)
