Been wondering: Is it well-known, that clicking just to the left of “Package” will sort the packages with the newest first?


make in-place
on master seems to be trying to do a unix-style install on my linux system. Anyone else run into this? The relevant part of the output:
"" \| /*) ;; \
*) echo "expected an absolute path for DESTDIR; given: "; exit 1;; \
esac
mkdir -p "/usr/local/bin" "/usr/local/share/racket/collects" "/usr/local/share/doc/racket" "/usr/local/lib64" "/usr/local/include/racket" "/usr/local/lib64/racket" "/usr/local/share/racket" "/usr/local/etc/racket" "/usr/local/share/applications" "/usr/local/share/man"

Does it with the v7.2 tag as well, so it’s probably the fault of something weird on my system.

@mflatt Is there an easy way to check whether or not the optimizer is doing something I want on Racket-on-Chez? On the Racket VM, I use raco decompile
and read the output, but on Chez, I just get back <opaque-compiled-linklet>
, which isn’t very helpful.

Ah, I found PLT_LINKLET_SHOW_CP0
, which seems to do what I want. Nevermind!

That’s pretty cool! I’ll give that a try to see if it provides a cleaner approach to testing.
In any case that feature seems useful for embedding a DSL in an otherwise normal racket file. Like your example of embedding a parser could be handy as an alternative to say regular expressions in the right use case.

Can it somehow cooperate with drracket syntax highlighting and auto indentation?
