Re: [racket] Developing DrRacket Extensions in the same process

2013-04-05 Thread Robby Findler
Okay, I've made a first attempt at this (just now pushed to git). I added the ability to add new mixins (via the drracket:get/extend:extend-* functions) at any time (as long as you call a function to explicitly enable that feature). DrRacket makes no attempt to adjust any existing objects that have

Carl and Jay, thank you for your advice. I hesitated presenting it as a "collection" because it's not example Racket source, it's more like example input data, but I think you're right it's preferable to install it. Thanks! On Fri, Apr 5, 2013 at 3:47 PM, Jay McCarthy wrote: > I agree with Carl.

Greg, I'd suggest putting it in a subcollection named examples, so it at least gets installed _somewhere_. Users can always write (require /examples/) and use the online syntax checker to jump to the file, if it's otherwise hard to find. If compiling the examples is burdensome, you can add them
