My impression is that Kommunernes Landsforening (the national association of municipalities) will work together with Google Denmark to find a solution. In the mean time (till August) schools can continue using Google WorkSpace.

Btw - Racket guarantees more than Scheme. In Racket non-tail calls can't lead to a stackoverflow. When a "potential stackoverflow" is detected the "frames" are moved to heap, and the computation continues. https:&#

Just to be clear: The teaching languages aren't Racket. The teaching languages consists of a series of small languages designed for beginners. The idea is that a beginner can get more precise error messages. Analogy: On a calculator,

> BTW, the "modern systems" argument is a fallacy IMO, as many general purpose interpreted languages had to go the JIT route (... PLT Scheme/Racket ...). Racket uses an AOT compiler these days. The backend was rewritten a

Pdf-extraction? Technically it is an interesting problem. But ... just stating the obvious ... you need to be careful with copyright. Make sure to clearly indicate the source of each problem.

The idea of using an interpreter to save space is sound. Wozniack used that idea in SWEET16 for the Apple II (also 6502 based). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWEET16 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGdE

You know this, but being explicit helps the casual reader: The "elimination" in "tail call elimination" refers to the "elimination" of the call frame. In languages like C each call pushes a frame to the call st

Great to hear, that it's not rare any longer.

by soegaard 3y ago
As you point out, it's quite common for Common Lisp compilers to produce machine code directly. In the Scheme world that's more rare and made Chez Scheme stand out. I think, that's what LAC-Tech hinted at - but I am not sure.

Consider the case where a compiler compiles Scheme to C via C. The C compiler is available at compile time, but who knows if the user has a C compiler. Such compilers often solve the problem by using some kind of interpreter at runtime. Com

by soegaard 3y ago
Evaluating code at runtime is "universal". But some implementations use an interpreter for evalulating code at runtime. ChezScheme uses the compiler.

The question came from a young member of the audience. It was phrased something like: "Why isn't Racket used in industry like OCaml is used by Jane Street." And what can you answer to that? Of course the Racket would like fo
