Re: [racket-users] Client side web applications in Racket

Thank you all! I'm still getting my head around how modern (client side)web applications are developed and work on the users browser - the last web application I worked on was perl and fast-cgi. My understanding of modern web apps is a) you are served a base (x?)HTML(5?) page and JavaScript by

[This message is a resend, because the first attempt hasn't gone through, after several hours.] You can also do HTML 5 (possibly Offline), together with whatever JS libraries you want for UX and for cross-browser differences (especially for client-side storage of larger data), and have it

My understanding is that implementation is still lagging, but I believe ES6 specifies proper tail calls, yes? -Philip On Sun, Jan 22, 2017 at 3:17 PM, Neil Van Dyke wrote: > Quoting "https://github.com/vishesh/racketscript/blob/master/README.md": > >> RacketScript

Re: [racket-users] Client side web applications in Racket

Quoting "https://github.com/vishesh/racketscript/blob/master/README.md": RacketScript doesn't support Racket features which are expensive, for example proper tail calls and continuations. Do you have plans to revist the tail call question within RacketScript? TCO is essential to idiomatic

Re: [racket-users] Client side web applications in Racket

On the client-side framework front, I found some of the lightweight, post React / post Angular frameworks were easy enough to get going with Urlang, hence definitely worth a look for RacketScript. I played mainly with Ractive; vue.js is similar. There are others. The main seeking point for me was

Re: [racket-users] Client side web applications in Racket

Hi Stephen, - is there a JavaScript MVC framework that is suitable to use with racketscript? (should I be using react or angular ?) I can not speak for Angular, but I think React should be suitable. You'll have to use ES5 API instead of classes and JSX, and therefore may want to build a

Thanks - is there a JavaScript MVC framework that is suitable to use with racketscript? (should I be using react or angular ?) - can I use Racketscrips with racket web applications stuff for the backend or am I compiling racketscript to nodejs to run on the server? Thanks again On Sun, 22 Jan

Hi, What are my options for doing client side web applications in Racket ? I've been getting my head around server side - I can auth a user and set a cookie - but I'm not sure what my options for client side web apps: - Should I be using Whalesong and/or Urlang? - Is there a right/wrong
