What do you use it for?
- vascocosta 5y agoComplex applications was probably an overstatement but I've created featureful IRC and Discord bots, a database management application and right now I'm creating a graphical browser for the Gemini protocol. All my other previous attempts at using functional languages, like for instance Haskell, ended up in trivial applications, usually based in numerical analysis.
- Y_Y 5y agoI'd be interested to see this Gemini browser in Racket. Do you have a public repo?
- vascocosta 5y agoIt's in a very early stage, because I'm porting it from a previous Python code base, so it's not yet available. That said, I'll leave here two links for Racket software that inspire me. 1. Gemini server with tons of features, that I use personally: https://sr.ht/~rwv/dezhemini/ https://sr.ht/~rwv/dezhemini/ 2. Graphical Gopher browser: https://github.com/erkin/gophwr https://github.com/erkin/gophwr
