Is this intended to be something like https://docs.racket-lang.org/scaffold/ ? On Thu, Aug 20, 2020 at 10:12 AM Stephen De Gabrielle < spdegabrie...@gmail.com> wrote: > Alex is right, most developers don't need this. > > The point of templates is

Re: [racket-users] Re: Application Templates!

Alex is right, most developers don't need this. The point of templates is a jumping off point for new developers, or developers trying a domain they are not familiar with. Where possible I will be linking back to any supporting materials ( https://alex-hhh.github.io/2020/03/a-game-of-tetris.html

My understanding is that Framework is born out of DrRacket, expecting that some of its tools may be useful in other contexts (like, say, keymaps). On Thu, Aug 20, 2020 at 3:11 PM Deren Dohoda wrote: > > I think Racket would benefit by a suite of applications which are small > but > > not

Re: [racket-users] Re: Application Templates!

Stephen's work may still be quite useful, as it provides a set of really minimal (almost?) working examples that explain the specifics of various tools. I say keep it up, Stephen! On Thu, Aug 20, 2020 at 5:33 AM Alex Harsanyi wrote: > I am not sure that a template in the style of "dotnet new"

[racket-users] Re: Application Templates!

I am not sure that a template in the style of "dotnet new" is directly applicable for Racket -- the .Net framework is, well a framework. which is a library that expects the users to structure their own programs in certain ways. The templates fill the need of setting up the boilerplate code
