@jsyeo: Caesar is having problems getting an invite. Any ideas? See comments here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32204246/compiler-doesnt-complain-when-cond-doesnt-have-a-else-branch-and-the-condition

@soegaard2: He needs to go to https://racket-slack.herokuapp.com/

(I’ve commented that link to him now.)

great

Slack is so much nicer than using IRC directly

:+1::skin-tone–3:

And makes chat on mobile sane

yep. I created this slack team because I see how clojure’s slack community is growing. they have ~2000 users on their slack team now

a lot more users than on their #clojure irc channel

for groups still using IRC, IRCCloud is a reasonable in-between

yep. I used irccloud and it’s probably the only sane irc client to use. apart from setting up your own server to persist the messages.

but you have to pay to stay connected to irccloud

which is quite a turn off

I’ve not tried IRCCloud but certainly when I’ve used IRC apps previously they’ve been pretty awful

Ah

And this me on my phone :blush:

And now my laptop

So cool!

lol

Definitely agree on the mobile comment. The only way I’m able to be in the chat rooms much is through my phone

One caveat is that Clojure has so many users on their Slack team that there is very little scrollback in the message history.

(but the Slack history is being logged by an integration)

I’d prefer that problem to the problem of an empty unusable chatroom

Hello everyone I’m new here. Are some of you getting in trouble when referring to Racket documentation in Dash(Mac)? There’re so many Racket versions and I just don’t know which one to refer.

@caesar: The correct version can always be found by accessing Help -> Racket Documentation from within DrRacket.

Yeah but I can always get many versions, such as advanced or beginner. How can I figure out which Racket version I’m currently using?

Oh, don’t use beginner or advanced, etc. unless you’re doing the How to Design Program exercises.

For normal Racket use, just use “Determine language from source”.

Yeah I’m using this. but when I refer to the docs I get messed up.

Just stick with the Racket Guide (http://docs.racket-lang.org/guide/index.html) until you find your footing. :simple_smile:

Ok. Thanks.
