Racket v5.93 is now available from http://racket-lang.org/ Version 5.93 repairs a few problems with the recent v5.92 release (in preparation for a v6.0 release): * fixed a low-level concurrency problem with the GUI library for Mac OS X, which especially affected 32-bit builds; * fixed G

The package catalog---pkgs.racket-lang.org---has been read-only for about a week because the SSL certificate expired and most browsers silently drop JS messages to HTTPS servers without good certificates so upload, edit, and login messages were being dropped. A new certificate is in place that wil

2014-01-31 Thread Mark Watts
Has anyone written a node drawing library using racket drawing code? I want to try out a visual programming paradigm that gives programmers a set of primitive constraint nodes like those depicted here: http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book-Z-H-22.html#%_sec_3.3.5and allows them to const

Enrique, if you don't mind my asking, where does Racket's math library fall short for the study you have in mind? (Its floating-point support shouldn't, especially if you work in Typed Racket.) I'm one of its authors, so I'm looking for suggestions. Neil ⊥ On 01/31/2014 06:45 AM, Matthew Flat

Re: [racket] SRFI-34's guard

2014-01-31 Thread Matthew Flatt
The SRFI-34 port is old and was defined to recognize `else` as an unbound identifier, compatible with the old `mzscheme` language. I've pushed a repair to make `srfi/34` work with `racket` (but maintaining backward compatibility, too). Meanwhile, you can work around the problem by using `#t` inst

Re: [racket] How to call a Julia function from DrRacket?

2014-01-31 Thread Matthew Flatt
It looks like Julia doesn't provide a foreign interface (e.g., to call Julia from C). So, I think that you'll have to run Julia in a separate process via `process` or `subprocess` and communicate with the process through stdin and stdout. At Wed, 29 Jan 2014 16:58:29 -0800 (PST), E Comer wrote: >

Hi Evan, Your alias file is like a function with the type (-> Void) because it is run only for its effect and its effect is only to "add", which makes it impossible to "subtract". One way to solve this is to change its type to (-> Hash) so that it returns what the hash should be. For instance, (d
