I actually use Racket in an embedded linux scenario on a 32-bit ARM. The board has Debian installed but without twiddling boots under busybox. Once upon a time I thought about giving a 5-minute presentation at Racketcon on the experience of using Racket in this way but it never happened. It's very

I would love to see a Racket unikernel, and be able to essentially run a modern Lisp machine. That seems like a really big project, but I guess I have no real understanding of how big it would be, or what parts you could use off the shelf (eg. from OS-kit. I understand this was done before in

That's an interesting project. It's a little too inclusive, so to speak, for what I was thinking of implementing. On Friday, July 7, 2017 at 7:33:32 PM UTC-7, Neil Van Dyke wrote: > I've made a boot-to-Racket-app appliance image for x86 before, based on > Debian Live. The bootable filesystem

I've made a boot-to-Racket-app appliance image for x86 before, based on Debian Live. The bootable filesystem image was under 400 MB, including Linux, X, Racket, various other native programs and libraries, and the app itself. It would boot to a full-screen display that would display a

Well there is the racket-rash project[1]. So you're thinking of more a *NIX environment inside the REPL? [1] https://github.com/willghatch/racket-rash On Friday, July 7, 2017 at 5:38:51 PM UTC-7, Royall Spence wrote: > How about a full suite of all the usual shell commands? I believe this > is

How about a full suite of all the usual shell commands? I believe this is the approach scsh takes. Come to think of it, I'm going to give that a try now... On Fri, Jul 7, 2017, at 08:16 PM, Lehi Toskin wrote: > I have this idea, this vision. I wish to create a small system that would > more or

I have this idea, this vision. I wish to create a small system that would more or less only be to turn on the machine (probably an RPi) and then you'd immediately be inside a Racket REPL. Probably wouldn't be very interesting by itself, but that seems to be almost exactly what eLua and
