[racket-users] Is it possible with Scrible's @hyperlink, to open the linked document in a new webpage?

Hi friends: Could someone share a way to use @hyperlink of the Scribble/manual language, in order to open the linked document in a new webpage or window (instead of using the current scribble document page)? Thank you very much in advance, and congratulations for constantly improving the

Re: [racket-users] RacketCon Code of Conduct

I'm strongly in favor. We could evaluate this simply as a "community development and marketing" proposition: 1. We want more people using Racket. 2. We want more people at RacketCon. 3. A familiar CoC will welcome more people. Framed that way, I think even _I_ could blurt out the answer fast

Re: [racket-users] RacketCon Code of Conduct

In an attempt to be more "scientific" about this I would point to the writing and actions of some other prominent language communities, as they have made the argument FOR having a CoC much better than I could. Before that, I think we (as practitioners and members of a technical community)

Re: [racket-users] RacketCon Code of Conduct

I agree with Matthias here, this mailing list should absolutely remain civil. I want to thank everyone for their feedback so far. It seems we have reached a fix point as to what the community wants wrt a CoC. I am inclined to that at this point we should hand it off to the main RacketCon

[racket-users] Is there a (#%variable-value ...) macro like there are for #%datum, #%app, etc?

Hey all, I'm trying to write a few #langs in racket, and I've been making use of the #%datum, #%app, and a few of the other macros that automatically wrap certain types of expressions. Is there a wrapper like this that works for determining the values that are bound to variables? (I.e. so that

Re: [racket-users] How to find code in the racket distro

The problem with `string-titlecase` is that it's built into the predefined `'#%kernel` module. The fact that `'#%kernel' is implemented in C exacerbates the problem, but even as pieces are being moved to Scheme/Racket, it's not clear that the source of `'#%kernel` will be part of a regular Racket

[racket-users] How to find code in the racket distro

Hi There was a recent question on the list about how to capitalise the first letter of a string. There were a number of good approaches, but I thought I would try look for the implementation of string-titlecase. I found it surprisingly difficult despite having the search for code functionality

Re: [racket-users] How to find code in the racket distro

Using github search (going to https://github.com/racket/racket and then typing in string-titlecase to the 'search this repository' bar) I was able to quickly find this snippet in string.c: scheme_add_global_constant("string-titlecase", scheme_make_immed_prim(string_titlecase,
