Racket's syntax-expander deliberately goes out of its way to break exactly this example. ("hygiene") The issue/bug/ambiguity it is protecting you from is: (let ((send (lambda args (length args)) )) (def (foo3 x y) (send x + y) )) (foo3 2 3) ;; In lisps with poor grooming, 5.

Dear mrmyers, I cloned your repo however it's true that i complete have no idea about macro yet. It'd be nice for further reading as i'd work on this problem for long. As soegaard suggests on IRC, to avoid the problem of creating new machines after every interaction, i'd try to make the struct #:m

Hi Linh, There are many different representations of finite state machines. If you "just" need to simulate a single machine, a simple and efficient approach is to represent each state as a Racket function (see example below). #lang racket (require racket/generator) ;; The turn-stile example fro

Folks, I have just tried to HEAD a web server, and have come across a few issues around the use of head-pure-port: 1. What is the point of `head-pure-port'? The HTTP server should not (must not?) send a body. Which means that once the port is purified, `head-pure-port' returns nothing. So i
