Sexpr comments are interesting because people want them to act mostly like sexprs -- for indentation, and for structural editing/display like paredit or rainbow-parens.
At most they should look like comments. Or not even that. As this thread shows. :) Another use case (that Mattias might not love) is somewhere for "usage examples" to live during middle age. - The usage examples are born when you casually type them into the REPL. - They get copied to the file, so that, as you refine what they call, they run to show the results you hopefully expect. - Before graduation to some initial commit, people often sexpr-comment them out. They can still be run via something like C-x C-e or C-M-x. - Eventually, if the examples are good, ought they be moved to test, srcdoc, and/or examples submodules? Probably someday yes. But retirement planning is hard work and people often postpone this. :) TL;DR sexpr comments are sometimes used for things that TDD folks might write up-front as formal tests. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
