To help me learn Racket, and also because I find colored text useful I've been
working on
a Racket package which I aim to release on http://pkgs.racket-lang.org/
The goal is to output colored data to the terminal if it's possible, even on
Windows, and it
currently does this by providing corresponding procedures for the standard
Racket ones:
display, displayln, write and print. I've tested this on a few Linux
distributions and Windows
and am reasonably happy with the results so far - release v0.4 at GitHub.
However, as I'm still swimming with armbands in the Racket pool, before
releasing a
v1.0 I would like to make sure
* the API is right for end users
* the documentation is readable with decent examples
* the code works
* the code is readable and maintainable
* the code follows Racket conventions
If any one has any issues or comments please submit them via the GitHub project
at
http://github.com/hopkinsr/terminal-color and I will try and resolve them.
I'd also like to say I wouldn't have been able to get this far without the
Racket guide &
reference documentation and especially without the help of the Racket community
- thanks!
