I tested the plot package that I normally test and it works fine. But, I still have a problem that I first noticed in 6.4 - but may have been introduced slightly earlier. For me it manifests as a problem with the interaction between typed Racket code, bigfloat? in math/bigfloat, and some higher-ord

I would replace "in many cases" with "in our gradual typing benchmark" or similar. I don't think there has been any careful study of what is common TR code that has been part of the design of the benchmark. Robby On Fri, Apr 15, 2016 at 2:45 PM, Sam Tobin-Hochstadt wrote: > Here's what I wrote t

Here's what I wrote then: Typed Racket now generates contracts with lower overhead in many cases, speeding up typed/untyped interaction. Here's a revision: "Typed Racket and the racket/contract library generate code with lower overhead, speeding up typed/untyped interaction in many cases." Furt

More generally, there was a bullet I drafted for 6.4 that we took out since some of the improvements were in 6.5 (such as the ones Robby did). Maybe a version like that would cover both the TR and `racket/contract` improvements. Sam On Fri, Apr 15, 2016 at 2:41 PM, Robby Findler wrote: > For min
