2019-03-11 Thread Alex Harsanyi
To add one more answer to this thread :-) In addition to compiling files specified on the command line, `raco make` will recursively compile all files referenced via `require`. This means that if you have a top level file for your application, you can tell `raco make` to compile that file, and

I think the best practice (at least my usual practice these days) is to make a package. Say the top of your tree is /path/to/project. Once: raco pkg install /path/to/project Thereafter your "make" is: raco setup --pkgs project This also works fine for c:\path\to\project. (Making it a lo

I looked over the documentation for raco make, and I didn't see anything about how to recursively make all *.rkt files in a directory tree. I suppose I could use something like: find . -name \*.rkt | xargs raco make, but I like being able to use all 8 "cores" with -j 8, and I *think* I'd lose

I think it's fair to say that the Racket style guide is not as rigid as some other style guides for some other languages: as it says itself in the introduction, it "isn’t complete and it isn’t perfect" and is more a set of "guidelines and best practices" than binding universal rules. I think it is

Yes, I hadn't really thought through the semantics of define (i.e. whether it had let or letrec semantics). So, in my case, since I want let semantics, I will use let. I'm happy to follow the Racket style guide when I get to the point of contributing code that is covered by it, but I think I wi

To be fair: As a new user, it's possible to have the intuition that `define` is just a way to avoid indentation -- that it "writes a `let` for you, from the point of the define to 'the end of the enclosing scope'". And it's possible for that intuition to seem correct for a very long time -- until
