Hello All, Neil points out something that I've been meaning to ask about. What exactly are the benefits of a continuation based design? Is the web server using it as some type of multitasking or coroutine feature? I think I have a basic understanding of what continuations are and how they work.

Hi Jordan, I would gladly contribute to your doc project. Although, I should probably provide a brief description of what my ultimate goals are where Racket/Scheme are concerned. I have written an application server that is structured a little bit differently than the current mainstream serve

[racket] match-let

2011-12-11 Thread Harry Spier
In the Racket Reference it gives this example for match-let . match-let ([(list a b) '(1 2)] [(vector x ...) #(1 2 3 4)]) (list b a x)) '(2 1 (1 2 3 4)) I'm not clear why the result isn't '(2 1 #(1 2 3 4)) If someone could explain that I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Harry
