Re: [racket-users] Using serial-lambda to send lambdas to places

Thanks for the example code. I will look at it soon, when I can code on that code again and see where I can get. Seems I misunderstood and thought you were suggesting to use the non-ergonomic way of identifying procedures for serial-lambda. That's probably, because I do not understand the source c

Re: [racket-users] Using serial-lambda to send lambdas to places

If an example would be helpful, here's a toy implementation of `parallel-set-map` that uses `serial-lambda` to send the user-supplied function across the place-channels: #lang racket (require web-server/lang/serial-lambda racket/serialize ) (define (place-printf pch fmt . args)

Re: [racket-users] Using serial-lambda to send lambdas to places

I am aware, that each place has its own stuff even if I put it at top level of the module, since it is its own Racket instance. I think sending things as immutable data is what I want to do. "Just send everything as immutable things to that place, so that it has everything it needs to complete some

Re: [racket-users] Using serial-lambda to send lambdas to places

I think it would help to take a step back and think about what you're doing when you communicate with a place. As you know, places are effectively separate instances of the Racket VM: other than the explicit, low-level mechanisms like `make-shared-bytes`, they share no state at all, not even the sa

[racket-users] Using serial-lambda to send lambdas to places

Today I wrote some example code for trying out `serial-lambda` from `(require web-server/lang/serial-lambda)`. Here is what I currently have: #lang racket (require web-server/lang/serial-lambda) (require racket/serialize) (define to-send (serial-lambda (x) (* x x))) (define to-send-2   (ser
