I’m not sure what issue you may have run into in the past, but Racket certainly has no issue with exporting a value. (After all, functions are values.) The issue described in this thread is (a) entirely syntactic (it’s an issue of binding/scoping, not runtime behavior), and (b) only occurs at the top-level (i.e. in the REPL, outside of a module). Matthew has already provided a detailed explanation of why the issue occurs. It’s true that you cannot set! imported bindings, but that’s quite separate from the problem discussed in this thread (which appears to be resolved). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
