[racket-users] tip for promoting racket on yc hacker news
If you're posting Racket-related stuff in recent months to YC's startup-oriented Hacker News (HN) site: 1. Thank you! 2. It seems important to time the posts so that they hit "new" or the front page during US morning/afternoon work hours. I've seen some posts that gain a lot of traction with comments (most recently, one on a section of Matthew Butterick's book), but other deserving posts that appear&disappear while the bulk of HN users aren't reading. (Apologies for the US-centrism, but YC is a US-based organization, and HN users seems to be weighted that way.) Also, for everyone else, if you're interested in US startups/dotcoms, getting some feel for HN seems important, and you can also help out in the comments on Racket posts. (I've been doing a bit of this. There seems to be a lot of scattered enthusiasm for Racket, a lot of curiosity, and some misconceptions.) https://news.ycombinator.com/ (As always, racket-users is the canonical forum for Racket, and things like HN are outreach outposts.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.

[racket-users] Second Call for Tutorial Proposals: ICFP 2019
*EXTENDED DEADLINE* - CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS ICFP 2019 24th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming August 18 - 23, 2019 Berlin, Germany https://icfp19.sigplan.org/ The 24th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming will be held in Berlin, Germany on August 18-23, 2019. ICFP provides a forum for researchers and developers to hear about the latest work on the design, implementations, principles, and uses of functional programming. Proposals are invited for tutorials, lasting approximately 3 hours each, to be presented during ICFP and its co-located workshops and other events. These tutorials are the successor to the CUFP tutorials from previous years, but we also welcome tutorials whose primary audience is researchers rather than practitioners. Tutorials may focus either on a concrete technology or on a theoretical or mathematical tool. Ideally, tutorials will have a concrete result, such as "Learn to do X with Y" rather than "Learn language Y". Tutorials may occur after ICFP co-located with the associated workshops, from August 22 till August 23. -- Submission details Deadline for submission: June 3rd, 2019 Notification of acceptance: June 10th, 2019 Prospective organizers of tutorials are invited to submit a completed tutorial proposal form in plain text format to the ICFP 2018 workshop co-chairs (Jennifer Hackett and Christophe Scholliers), via email to icfp-workshops-2...@googlegroups.com by June 3rd, 2019. Please note that this is a firm deadline. Organizers will be notified if their event proposal is accepted by June 10th, 2019. The proposal form is available at: http://www.icfpconference.org/icfp2019-files/icfp19-tutorials-form.txt -- Selection committee The proposals will be evaluated by a committee comprising the following members of the ICFP 2019 organizing committee. Tutorials Co-Chair: Jennifer Hackett(University of Nottingham) Tutorials Co-Chair: Christophe Scholliers(University of Ghent) General Chair: Derek Dreyer (MPI-SWS) Program Chair: François Pottier ( Inria, France) -- Further information Any queries should be addressed to the tutorial co-chairs (Jennifer Hackett and Christophe Scholliers), via email to icfp-workshops-2...@googlegroups.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.

[racket-users] Re: Idle UI thought: compiling/running indicator?
DrRacket doesn't currently know about the difference between those two (it just evaluates the program and eval knows what it is doing, but doesn't currently tell). There is a related thing, tho: when debugging is turned off, if you see a green bubble (it will have little spikeys on it), then clicking run just starts from the compiled version that online check syntax produced. That can speed things up a bit.

[racket-users] racket email lists need sysadmin skills volunteer
If any Racketeer has a bit of sysadmin-type skills, and can commit to volunteering... it looks like there's a new problem with Google Groups, and a somewhat urgent need for sysadmin work on the email list hosting and archive, and then for maintaining whatever changes are made. This is separate from any problems with lists.racket-lang.org you might've heard of. It seems like a heroic volunteer from the community is really needed. If you can volunteer, there's a bit of discussion in "racket-dev" today. You can volunteer to the core Racket people directly. (Sorry if this is already well-known, but I was unsubscribed for a while. I also regret I can't commit to this work myself right now.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.

Re: [racket-users] tip for promoting racket on yc hacker news
I agree it's good to promote Racket everywhere. At the same time, I recommend folks not take HN too seriously. :) Scanning the links? Often worthwhile. The comments? Sometimes good. Often epic Dunning-Kruger. If you're busy you can instead just read this weekly summary: http://n-gate.com/ You're welcome. :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.

Re: [racket-users] tip for promoting racket on yc hacker news
I love n-gate, and part of the amusement is the mix of a bit of truth
and being over-the-top harsh.
HN has some merit, and I might also be seeing some positive shift in HN
zeitgeist within the last couple months (or maybe I'm just getting
desensitized to the worst, and perceptually biased to see the best :).
The main reason I first recommended some Racketeers try HN was to bridge
to people interested in doing startups, like Paul Graham started with YC
(back when he was encouraging people to interrupt college to do a
startup). I currently suspect that a successful startup using Racket
get to launch ("Rocket") is the most likely way that we'll now have
credible commercial adoption now (the kind in which job posts ask for
Racket experience). For whatever reason, we haven't seen startups out
of Racket-using universities write success stories about how Racket
helped them launch, so I looked to places like HN to reach the
startup-inclined directly.
(Racket History: When PG first started summer(?) funding startups, a few
of us PLTers/Racketeers applied as a team, and I figured we had a
chance, given how PG was also singing the praises of Lisp for startups,
and we were accomplished in Lisps. We didn't even get a response, I was
miffed for years, and it's only recently that time healed the wounds of
betrayal, and I was willing to try HN. :)
