> Does a killer app or library sorely need a Racket alternative? Let me throw out a few things which we would use in our business even if they are not the most pressing needs in general. We have ways to work around these things but It would be much nicer to have a Racket native solution. I have numbered the list but they are really in no particular order.
1. Libsodium - We need to do some sophisticated encryption and web of trust stuff. See earlier comments on this list by Tony Garnock-Jones. 2. ICE NAT traversal - We need to do this and do it well. Currently we are working on using FFI to either PJNATH or libnice. A pure Racket implementation would be great. It should probably be combined with Tony G's efforts on UPnP and NAT-PMP, https://github.com/tonyg/racket-nat-traversal. This is an area which has suffered greatly from a lack of the right people coming together and agreeing on a good standard. ICE is a method for prioritizing and selecting from multiple competing standards which may each be the best choice in different circumstances. UPnP and NAT-PMP are only partial solutions for us and we really need STUN and TURN as well. 3. Advanced fountain codes - For example, https://arxiv.org/abs/1605.09125. I haven't seen a Racket native library for basic Reed-Solomon erasure codes either. 4. A DSL alternative to GraphViz - see my other message. 5. #lang R or some other method to combine Racket and R - We need to go to R for computational work because that's what is trusted in the field.
