[racket-users] Multipart HTTP requests

2019-01-29 Thread Christopher Lemmer Webber
I'm looking to do multipart HTTP requests in Racket, though it looks like there's no support at the moment. I thought I might add a utility using the net/http-client library, starting with making an adjusted http-conn-send! function. However, the http-conn-(host/port/etc) struct accessors aren't

2018-11-11 Thread Christopher Lemmer Webber
It struck me recently that I tend to think of parameters as O(1) when in reality they're O(n), where n is the number of frames on the stack, right? I was considering writing some code that cons'ed itself on its natural recursion, but in the process was checking the parameter. But then I realized

Hello all, I've made the first release of Goblins (v0.1), the lightweight actor model I'm building for Racket which will be the foundation for my future distributed virtual worlds work in Racket. It is *not* production ready, consider this a pre-alpha, but you can get it from Racket's package

I agree that they should be shown as comments. In many ways I like what happens (probably unintentionally) in my emacs setup: I have rainbow-delimeters enabled, which colors the parentheses. When I comment out the s-exp with #; the sexp looks commented out, but the parentheses remain colored.

I am wary of this. I really don't have a strong preference either way, my suspicion is it's mostly "what did you become famliar with initially" kind of thing. :keyword is more Common Lisp'ish, #:keyword matches other Schemes I've used. But: - I'd rather not have *two* keyword syntaxes in
