So far from this thread, it seems the idea of Structured Concurrency hasn’t yet made it into the Racket world. I’ll be interested to see if it gets adopted in Racket in the future (or at least better understood) as its adoption grows elsewhere. In the meantime, in case it helps illustrate the i

Coming across https://trio.discourse.group/t/structured-concurrency-and-delimited-continuations/ just provoked me to search for discussion of structured concurrency in Racket. I didn’t immediately find much.* I hope that doesn’t mean that the interesting work that’s being discussed over in htt

I recently asked here about in-person Racket courses available this summer which I could recommend to a student I've been tutoring. (Thanks again to everyone who let me know about their courses so far.) To make this info easier to find, I'm wondering if the racket-lang.orgmaintainers would be inte

Thanks Marco! Would this course be available to a rising 9th grader? Looks like this is one of the "College Credit Courses", which seem to be only available to rising juniors and seniors. Good to see on-campus housing might be an option though in case that's preferable to commuting from NYC. Also

Thanks for the suggestions, Neil. I should have mentioned that he lives in New York City. I suspect that a significant part of what he's looking for is the experience of being away from home for a couple weeks as well as socializing with other kids, but I should make sure. As for self-study or work

Hey Racket Users, Just trying Racket for the first time, and very excited to finally be learning it! I've been wanting to for years. Just had my first encounter with DrRacket, and am trying to get comfortable with keyboard input. According to http://docs.racket-lang.org/drracket/Keyboard_Shortcut
