Is Scott Owens on this channel? If so then thanks for parser tools, very pleasant to use after the pain of Java Antlr.
@soegaard2 Very interesting, thanks.
Observations (for what it’s worth): 1. Free Slack = no archive. AFAIK traffic on all channels contributes toward all older things scrolling into limbo. (Slack says they keep it, and you could get it someday if you pay. We won’t, so same difference.) 2. I hear the IRC gateway to Slack no longer works. As a result, people who only use open internet tools like mailing list and IRC might no longer participate. I don’t know whether that’s considered a bug or a feature. 3. Slack threads are pretty terrible (compared to something like Zulip) and will cramp discussion. (Ditto bug or feature.)
@jaz Great — thanks!
And.. I just realized Matthew specifically mentioned the #racket2 channel in his email. :flushed:
With a kitty.

First time I’m trying to pass an initialization argument to a class I created. Error message is “unused initialization arguments” . Inside my priceladder% class, I have an init-field (e.g., "(init-field broker)" ). The call is "(new priceladder% [broker broker-object])" . I was expecting the broker field in the priceladder object to get initialization argument, but instead, get the " unused" error. Thanks for helping me out!

in general, which one do you like using more — typed or regular racket?
I prefer dynamically typed #lang racket
I am concerned about having detailed technical design conversations about Racket 2 and watching them slip away into Slack’s archive-for-ransom. I guess if I have much detail to talk about, I’ll try to keep it to racket2-rfcs.
Even though IRC can be much easier to archive, I personally consider it more ephemeral than writing an email or posting to a Github issue. I think of Slack the same way.
Oh, same here. I wouldn’t suggest IRC over Slack (not that I don’t miss the benefit of Slack’s IRC gateway for people who used it)
Does your work combine Racket and low-level systems programming? Consider submitting a short paper about your work to the PLOS ’19 workshop! —
2nd Call for Papers: PLOS ’19: 10th Workshop on Programming Languages and Operating Systems http://plos-workshop.org/2019/
Sponsored by ACM SIGOPS / In conjunction with SOSP Paper submission deadline: August 9, 2019 Workshop: October 27, 2019
Historically, operating system development and programming language development went hand-in-hand. Today, although the systems community at large retains an iron grip on C, many people continue to explore novel approaches to OS construction based on new programming language ideas.
This workshop will bring together researchers and developers from the programming language and operating system domains to discuss recent work at the intersection of these fields. It will be a platform for discussing new visions, challenges, experiences, problems, and solutions arising from the application of advanced programming and software engineering concepts to operating systems construction, and vice versa.
