[racket] Marking dependencies on dynamically required modules.

2013-03-19 Thread Eric Dobson
I have two files a.rkt and b.rkt, a.rkt dynamically requires b.rkt at syntax time. a.rkt: #lang racket (require (for-syntax compiler/cm-accomplice)) (define-syntax (go stx) (dynamic-require "b.rkt" #f) #''success) (go) b.rkt: #lang racket (when #f (error 'this-might-break)) If I compile

[racket] want to pass argument via terminal in linux

Hello, I need to pass a file name as a parameter to my program (e.g. test- case1.rkt). in that file I just have a list variable. I want to do it via terminal in this way: --- racket ./Desktop/a3/1/a3-FC.rkt ./Desktop/a3/1/test-case1.rkt -

My personal experience is that a good and detailed design is hard to get to *without* doing the coding. -Patrick On Tue, Mar 19, 2013 at 1:50 PM, Jos Koot wrote: > One remark down intermixed in your email. > Jos > >> -Original Message- >> From: users-boun...@racket-lang.org >> [mailto:u

You're right of course. Clearly Brian Kernigan was referring to something like you describe. Nevertheless I couldn't help arguing that that type of cleverness is stupid. I started programming late 60ties begin 70ties and always have had trouble convincing my colleages to think/design/document and t

This has probably been the aphorism that has guided me most strongly in coding. I find it even better than the "premature optimization" quip, which is probably my second favorite, followed by Greenspun's tenth. Deren On Mar 18, 2013 9:58 PM, "Harry Spier" wrote: > > I found this quote on a blog a

I think "clever" here is meant in the "smart-ass" sense. Let me take this smart-ass definition to be measured by how much you write "compressed" code (in the sense of Kolmogorov complexity, which incomputability fits well with the cleverness). You have a compression function C: Program -> Program
