Racket needs *you*. Please.
The proper approach is to have short pages for different language immigration
groups: Python and R come to mind as obvious examples but I am sure there are
others.
What I mean is we need help and *you* can help. Let me explain it with the
Python example:
1. Set up a page (wiki?) called “From Python to Racket”
2. Create two sections that are immediately visible from the top:
— idioms
— performance pitfalls
3. In the specific case of Python, the second subsection needs to start with a
subsection on
— Python Lists aren’t Racket Lists
— then point to data/ralis and show how to transliterate the
loop/append example like this
— optionally also show the more native Racket idiom
4. When anyone observers another blog/social media/whatever post on Racket is
slow because I come from Python,
(a) point the posters to the page or
(b) if it is a new case, write a section for this example then do (a)
If you want to help advertise Racket to others, this is an excellent way of
helping out.
Thanks — Matthias
[[ p.s. For my very first Python program (a couple of days before meeting with
GvR), I used Python’s append and was annoyed beyond belief. ]]
