thanks @mflatt about the @linebreak[] tip. I do know the @author function but could also think of cases where I would need Headtitle @linebreak[] Subtitle.
Hi everybody. I had a general question. I am getting back to this language but I wondered, what can I do with it in the future?
I have been wanting to see a graphql implementation in racket for awhile. Mainly because the github api now uses graphql and will make creating a github api in racket a breeze.
@abbyrjones72 well, that’s a hard question. You can do whatever you want really. What are you interested in? Or do you want to contribute to racket itself? Maybe there are some libraries looking for help.
@abbyrjones72 what @pocmatos said. Racket can be used for any kind of programming projects, it’s a multi-featured Swiss army knife really. Glided with platinum.
If you have specific visions of what you’d like to do in the future, feel free to mention that here, we could give you specific examples of how Racket has been used for the cases you’re envisioning.

@abmclin to be honest, I need to make more money than I am now. I won’t get into my story or why I’m not currently a programmer, but I have had 1 interview in 3 years.
@abbyrjones72 Something I like to point out, for people of all ages/experience/backgrounds, who are interested in starting/resuming a programming career, is the Recurse Center (formerly known as Hacker School). It’s not for everyone, but, I just to make sure people are aware it’s a possible option. https://www.recurse.com/
It’s not one of those paid “bootcamps”. It’s free to attend. (Admittedly, it’s not free to live in NYC for 6 or 12 weeks. But there are some financial assistance options.)
I have to work to pay the bills though. This is really nice though, and maybe I will just hippie-fy myself for 12 weeks lol.
How they make money is recruiting. You’re not obligated to try to find a job with their help. But you can, and they help coach for interviews, and all that. There’s a pretty good alumni network and community.
They even have 1-week option these days.
Anyway it might not be for you, I just wanted to point it out.
@sorawee There are two names at play. The package name and the name of the construct. You could name your package some like let-with-defaults (or something better) and then have use loop as the name for the construct.
Thank you for the info! Strangest thing: I got a call from a Naval contractor and set up an interview for next Wednesday. They loved my resume.
@abbyrjones72 good luck :simple_smile:
