Thanks to everyone who attended the Racket meet-up
we started off sharing our excitement about the announcement of Racketfest, "the rogue festival of Racket & language-oriented programming" for March 2023 (Thank you to Jesse for organising Racketfest - sadly Jesse was unable to attend the meet-up but sent his apologies)
You can read the Racketfest announcement here: Racketfest 2023: The little Racket conference that could!
Also mentioned was the Advent of Code Racket Leaderboard announcement
After this @dominik.pantucek did a longer show and tell as mentioned earlier in the thread - he has agreed to post some screenshots for those who were not able to join us.
Mentioned: (a wildly incomplete list)
- Using fxvector for better performance
- x64 Assembler a x64 assembler written in Typed Racket, and it generates code that can be used in Racket directly.
I had to leave the group to make my dinner for my family but before I left there was excitement about the upcoming Racketfest talk Lambda, the Dragon Slayer! from by Paulo Matos of Igalia @pmatos ...it is a long wait until Saturday, March 18, 2023
best wishes
Stephen
