They both have a similar role, but I think there are significant differences (unless I'm misunderstanding): * It's not uncommon to rearrange the components of a URL pattern. Without name binding, you would need to change both the pattern and the handler function. * Typing is optional for mine * I didn't see a way to define further constraints (besides the type of an argument) i.e. ensuring an argument matches a pattern I thought about not providing the #:name parameter, and that might be possible. Rails provides name_url() and name)_path() functions for absolute and relative url creation - I'll have to weigh the pros/cons of using the name of the handler function as the prefix for those. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
