>From a quick read of the paper: - Many silly things have happened in the last 10 years due to people wanting to believe they have same challenges as Google, Facebook, Microsoft. "But is it web scale?" :) - The Shake "dynamic" example is interesting, but I'm pretty sure I recently did the same thing in Make using variables.

Having said all that, I'm not here to defend Make as a delightful surface DSL. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
