[racket-dev] Tech links with custom text
While writing documentation, I came across cases where I would have wanted to link to technical terms (using the "tech" function) without having the technical term itself be the text of the link. For example, I wanted to link to the definition of "inexact number", but I wanted the text of the link to be "inexact" instead of "inexact number". Is there a way to do that?

The basic set of log messages is retrieved properly, and then I add things that seem like they might be relevant -- and my assumption for a case like your extensions to the teaching languages is that it's fresh enough that you'd know if it goes in or not.

The repl bug is a general bug that requires a systematic change to things. It also hurts Typed Racket and other things.

I found two things so far: 1. the basic signatures are lowercase in the docs, but are uppercase for real. 2. When you restrict a function with a signature, you can still misapply it in the REPL: (: f (Integer -> Integer)) (define (f x) x) (f "hello") ;; in Defs: violation of signature ;; in REPL: returns "hello" The biggest flaw is mine.

It wasn't actually compiling code, it was more a scheme-like assembly language which got far enough to run useful bits of code.

Matthew actually wrote a jitter for bytecode, and lightning turned out fine for that. LLVM has a nice interface and lots of optimizations (some tied to how it represents assembly code) -- but the system itself is pretty big, which made it much less appealing as a target for jitting. (It's roughly like swallowing GCC into Racket.) > Interesting; I wasn't aware of GNU lightning. > > Does that mean that mzc currently targets lightning, or is that just > used in the JIT? Both of these are unrelated to mzc -- and the current use of lightning is only for jitting. If you're talking about using the LLVM C compiler, then that's a different issue (and I think that some people have tried that, but I don't remember who or whether it was successful). -- ((lambda (x) (x x)) (lambda (x) (x x))) Eli Barzilay: http://barzilay.org/ Maze is Life! _ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/dev
