Actually, I wonder if people use any srfi much?
Some people still use SRFIs with Racket (I don't anymore), but usually
Racket has somewhat better comparable features separate from SRFIs,
either built-in or in PLaneT.
Contrary to this, both the `plot' and `db' libraries use SRFI-19 - "Time
Data Types and Procedures". I don't know what `db' uses it for, but
`plot' uses it to format dates and times. This is one rare case where
Racket's built-in library isn't as full-featured as a SRFI.
To support what you wrote in a later email: follow the example of a
junior dev (me) and a more senior one (Ryan). Write your stuff in
Racket, and use the SRFIs for extra features when a standard library
doesn't have what you need.
