This works: #lang racket/base (require (for-syntax racket/base)) (define-syntax (show-me stx) (display stx) #'(void)) If you mouse-hover over the keywords, define-syntax is imported from #lang racket/base, and display and #' are imported (require (for-syntax racket/base)). Because display and #' are needed at compile time, not run time. Therefore, logically, this doesn't work: #lang racket/base (define-syntax (show-me stx) (display stx) #'(void)) Gives the error: display: unbound identifier in the transformer environment; also, no #%app syntax transformer is bound in: display And if we remove the display statement, the same error for #' So far so good. BUT Why does this work? #lang racket (define-syntax (show-me stx) (display stx) #'(void)) Now define-syntax *and* display *and* #' are directly imported from #lang racket. What about compile time vs run time? What does #lang racket do apart from including many libraries on top of racket/base? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
