@lexi.lambda and I are going to do an “Inside Racket Seminar” on Hackett’s implementation. Please tell me when you are available if you’d like to tune in live — http://whenisgood.net/g4xfey3

anyone got any ideas about how to handle this? https://github.com/racket/racket/issues/1790#issuecomment-326743875

TL;DR if you’re in China, you can’t use the Racket users’ google group, since google services are blocked

it should still be possible to read the mailing lists at least, because of the archives at https://lists.racket-lang.org/users/archive/

yah, and if you could successfully sign up for the mailing list, I would think you could email it and receive emails no problem

but I’m not sure if you can sign up w/o visiting the google groups site…?

You can. But I think the email server that the DNS redirects to is recognized by the firewall as a Google IP

I don’t know much about this though

I might be overlooking something… but there is define-values and set!-values… there is match-define but not match-set!. Would having match-set! be useful? I’m currently trying to clean up my code to not need such a thing, but it feels wordy


lexi.lambda

@zenspider I would bet there’s no match-set! because Racket programmers just don’t mutate things enough to consider writing it/asking for it

I’m trying to convert this code into a let loop… but until I figure the exit logic out, I’m a bit stuck wanting that for now :slightly_smiling_face:
