Apparently, @spdegabrielle agrees 100% with the conclusion of this test :sweat_smile:

Sorry James, the test is completely scientific and can’t be wrong.:rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

I’m trying to find an investigation, a report into the history of the else keyword. Someone posted a URL some time ago, not long ago (perhaps it was @soegaard2 who did it?) and I think it was a GitHub URL. I don’t remember the author, but it was a really good historical account of the else keyword with a very plausible conclusion as to the origin of the else keyword. I’m still searching Slack here but I’m not getting any good results. Could it have been on Discord? Possible. I will also try to find it there.

I’m quite sure the discussion was here, as I’m not on Discord. That said, I didn’t find it in Slack either. Maybe it has already vanished because of the Slack message threshold?

I think it was here. You might check the archive (http://benknoble.github.io/racket-slack-archive\|benknoble.github.io/racket-slack-archive)

Thank you all. Very grateful.

I had the impression we have the whole history here, as if Racket is a paid customer?

For me the history doesn’t go back further than 2021–10–18 (at the moment). The Racket Slack had a tryout phase for several months, but it has expired a few months ago. Now the pricing at https://app.slack.com/plans/T06V8J4SU applies.

This is like the only place on the Internet that isn’t talking about Log4j right now.
