I've thought about starting a "build an ecosystem for Racket" project where I document gaps in the extended ecosystem and review best-of-breed solutions from other languages as a kind of literature review / review of prior art.
Racket has such a great story for so many things that are painful in other environments. It's an under-appreciated language.
- mark_edward 8y agoWould you be willing to collaborate on this? Racket was my first programming language and I miss it dearly. An excuse to write code in it would be great!
- peatmoss 8y agoOh my yes. Of course. PM me, and let’s figure out the right vehicle to get started.
- baldfat 8y agoThe only issues that this really could address. Would be nice to have a "Wall of Shame" for these gaps. A) Racket is so enjoyable everyone builds their own solutions B) "The view that full-fledged problem solving almost always calls for language design" Which sadly falls onto deaf ears especially people from Python.
