Brief summary of meet-up;

- [https://racketfest.com/](https://racketfest.com/) on **Sat­ur­day, March 18, 2023** at the [Spielfeld](https://www.spielfeld.com/) cowork­ing space in Berlin, Ger­many.

- @joeld spoke about his websites ([https://joeldueck.com/](https://joeldueck.com/)) made with his language [`#lang punct`](https://github.com/otherjoel/punct) and [gui-easy: Declarative GUIs](https://docs.racket-lang.org/gui-easy/index.html) and [http-easy: a high-level HTTP client](https://docs.racket-lang.org/http-easy/index.html)

- @bogdan spoke about his latest work [Safe Foreign Callouts from Racket to Swift - defn.io](https://defn.io/2023/02/04/racket-foreign-callouts-to-swift/) - check out [GitHub - Bogdanp/Noise: A Swift wrapper around Racket CS.](https://github.com/bogdanp/noise) and and example you can run yourself [GitHub - Bogdanp/NoiseBackendExample](https://github.com/Bogdanp/NoiseBackendExample)

- @dominik.pantucek spoke about his ‘procrastination project’ (his words), but I was ‘unfortunately called out by a person on business from Porlock’ and missed it 😭

I also noted the cookbooks project ([Racket-Cookbooks · GitHub](https://github.com/Racket-Cookbooks)) but don’t get time to talk before I had to go again.

I’ll have to rely on the **many** other attendees to complete this update…

See you next time

Stephen
