[racket-users] Not a rant at all!

Hi! I just wanted to say that the whole racket system (including dr. racket) is by far my most liked programming system I've ever tried. I'm a hobby programmer and the glitchless ide combined with the very huge documentation makes me wonder why I'm not using it since ever ;) Sometimes I'm in trou

[racket-users] Confirming when garbage collection runs

I'm using the job-queue module (https://docs.racket-lang.org/job-queue/index.html) and want to confirm that I understand the memory management implications Imagine I do this: (struct fruit (num)) (define (foo) (make-list 1 (fruit 7))) (define (bar) (map (compose add1 fruit-

[racket-users] Re: Confirming when garbage collection runs

Sorry, bumped 'send' by mistake Imagine I do this: (struct fruit (num)) (define (foo) (make-list 1 (fruit 7))) (define (bar) (map (compose add1 fruit-num) (foo))) (submit-job! (thunk (bar))) I think that the above is roughly equivalent to doing this: (thread (thunk

[racket-users] Best way to deploy to the package server if the module relies on a DB?

I have some code that I'd like to release that relies on having a database available. I know that the package server regularly runs tests for the packages, and presumably there won't be a writable DB available on the package server. What is the best way to handle this? -- You received this mess

[racket-users] Re: Best way to deploy to the package server if the module relies on a DB?

In my fixture package I'm attempting to (hopefully) make this sort of thing easier for RackUnit-based tests (see this github issue ), so if you're using RackUnit I'm interested in seeing what y

[racket-users] Re: stumped

I built a similar control, although it does not represent directory paths, just labels which are stacked vertically. I ended up defining a structure to hold the text and width + height of each label and keep these structures in a list. In my case, all labels have the same size so converting a mo
