I don't have notes of what I said (recording will be up soon) but that isn't what I was trying to say at all. We value use in industry and have made significant effort to enable it (like relicensing everything). It is true, of course, that we're academics, and so we need to learn from others about how to better enable industrial use of Racket, but that is not because we don't care about it.
- davidrupp 3y agoI didn't read "not targeted at industry" as equivalent to "doesn't care about industry".
- velcrovan 3y agoIndeed. Racket maintainers do consider input from industry users and sometimes make changes based on that input, but it is not targeted at industry.
- mark_l_watson 3y agoI enjoyed the panel discussion - I was not complaining.
- samth 3y agoI didn't read it as complaining but I think your impression was not what I was aiming to say.
- lemper 3y agoI'm sure there is this one person who builds a webdev ecosystem in racket. sorry, can't really recall his name. I'm pretty sure he has a lot of valuable input.
