[racket-users] Re: Racket packages / build system
Hi racket-dev and racket-users! I'm trying to create a build system for Racket in Guix(a long-standing feature for some of us in the Guix community). It appears that Racket, vis-a-vis raco, maintains some "global" state whereby package-installs leads to the update of some files, links, search-paths and other refs(hence the statefulness) that I won't go into. There's a similar project, racket2nix(please see: https://github.com/fractalide/racket2nix) which overcomes this by generating a temporary environment(by copying most of the racket folders and the deps needed as writable folders) where it installs with raco and then tries to update racket's global state. This feels slow and hacky. To summarize, the default racket install system is quite stateful(!) and also many operations seem to try to touch files. I'm considering studying the racket2nix more and going that route as a last resort if I don't find a work-around for the aforementioned state issues. Another possibility(though I don't know how feasible that would be) would be to figure out how raco works(by studying it's source) and do the same thing in a Guix-y way. I however, don't know yet how I would overcome the state issue :( Racket-dev or racket-users, is there some important thing I'm missing? Is there some (maybe undocumented, new or WIP) way of installing racket packages without maintaining state? Any pointers/ suggestions are gladly welcome. I'm invested of having a way to package racket packages in Guix; and I believe it's a big step forward for Racket in increasing it's reach in the Guix community :) PS: Full e-mail thread here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2020-10/msg00298.html -- Bonface M.

[racket-users] How do you load pre-trained models and use them in Racket?
Hi, I've been looking at: https://github.com/epfml/Bi-Sent2Vec. I would like to use that to filter out a bunch of content(for now majorly tweets) that I scrape(https://github.com/BonfaceKilz/feedanalyser/). Is there a library that could help with this? If not, is there a library that could help interface with this or that could help me load and use the pre-trained data? I'm thinking of re-implementing this in Racket if there are no alternatives, but before I do that I'd like to be absolutely sure that no such thing exists in Racket. I've seen https://docs.racket-lang.org/rml-core/index.html but that seems to be a WIP. Also, what's the state of ML and ML-related libs in Racket? FYI I'm no data-scientist but that's something that I'm slowly dipping my feet in. FWIW *Everybody* seems to be using Python for Data Science work. -- Bonface M. K.

I've been working on https://github.com/BonfaceKilz/feedanalyser/ which is a feed aggregator with the end goal of it being plugged in as part of a website or other form of feed. There's also: https://gitlab.inria.fr/guix-hpc/guix-past which is a drive by Ludo(the creator of Guix) and a bunch of people in that eco-system to make available old no-longer-maintained packages. This gives scientists the ability to re-use old packages when they want to reproduce papers whose code no longer uses the latest libs of packages. It's in GUILE which is a scheme dialect. I'm sure you may find those interesting and worthy candidates for your stream \o\o. Wdyt? Other than that, it'd be great to have meets that go beyond CL. I got my start in Guile (because of GUIX), and eventually got my feet wet in Racket :) > Thanks a lot, > Michał "phoe" Herda > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Racket Users" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to racket-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/racket-users/5c36d5df-4cd8-42a3-862b-1db710157db0o%40googlegroups.com. -- Bonface M.
