Hi Racket users, This past summer, Vishesh Yadav created a web application to facilitate sharing of Racket programs as Javascript (big-bang programs in particular).
Vishesh is exploring improvements to Whalesong as part of a master's thesis, taking a descriptive approach and focusing on how Racket programmers prefer to use Javascript. We're hoping this site will help us collect some useful examples. We invite everyone to check it out in its current state and provide feedback: http://bigbang.ccs.neu.edu/ Submit problems here: https://github.com/vishesh/whalebin Here are some big-bang programs we've ported: http://bigbang.ccs.neu.edu/search?q=%23Stevelikes Vishesh has also developed a DrRacket tool to make local development in Whalesong easier. The tool adds 2 buttons: a Scribble-style local compile button, and button that uploads to the website. I've added the tool as "whalesong-tools" to the pkg server. The src is here: https://github.com/vishesh/drracket-whalesong The local-compile button requires a Whalesong installation. Use the version maintained by Jens. I don't think installation works via the package manager, but installation instructions are here: https://github.com/soegaard/whalesong. It will run with Racket 6.2.1 but not anything more recent than that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
