Does anyone have a contact for the nuACM channel on YouTube? The @ryanc video on macros is ‘not available in my country’; https://youtu.be/AB15shYUU4M\|https://youtu.be/AB15shYUU4M

We should update the wiki to give all the info on how to make racket code fast, making sure we mention the tradeoffs.

Same here. I remember mentioning this about another video on that channel a while back, but I don’t remember what it was (an old State of Racket talk from a past RacketCon maybe?). When I visit this channel, it says that it has no videos or playlists.

Same here, and I’m in the same country as nuACM.

Given the license "<https://www.youtube.com/t/creative_commons|Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)>" this is rather odd.


Thanks @soegaard2 -I just emailed.

It looks like all their videos are offline?

I think so. Hopefully they haven’t lost access to the account.

That’s a fantastic presentation of Racket! Well done @mflatt

@joshibharathiramana do you anticipate people will use a variety of programming languages for the reading group?

from 2012 but I think this is now my go-to for when people ask ‘what is racket’

I don’t think so. I will be using Racket though.

earliest recorded reference to standard-fish

i strangely cant install pollen

raco pkg install pollen
Resolving “pollen” via https://download.racket-lang.org/releases/7.9/catalog/ raco pkg install: cannot find package on catalogs package: pollen

the catalog site atm is 404

The catalog site is confusing because there’s not a reassuring front page, but that’s not the problem…


The v7.9 source distros and PPA have been updated, but I’m guessing that you build/installed before the repair.

ahh alright, ill flag the arch linux devs

how do you call something that is proper racket? like when you find something that looks right in python you say pythonic… i remember seeing a term being thrown around but i cant remember what it was…

rackety ?

ah i think that was it… ty!

Is there an email or wiki post that roughly describes how to install Racket BC or CS on RPi 4?

That is if there is anything dramatically different from build it from the source package.

There’s nothing different.

That’s great thanks!

To install Racket CS on RPi 4, I downloaded “<https://www.cs.utah.edu/plt/snapshots/current/installers/racket–7.9.0.9-arm-linux-cs.sh|32-bit ARMv6 VFP> built on Raspbian” and picked [3 - install in ~pi/racket] during the installation. That was it.

That’s probably a lot faster than what I did (build from source.)

Yeah, I figured I was not going to build from source on an RPi 4, or rather, I was too impatient to find out how long that might take, and what things I’d have to install beforehand first. My RPi 4 is brand new. Racket is literally the only thing I’ve installed on it, and it works!
