Hello, I have developed a reverse job board for functional programmers, if you are looking for a job, you could list yourself here https://lambda.hothire.dev

#Clojure #Haskell #Lisp #Scheme #Racket #Programming #Job #Jobs #ReverseJobBoard

While doing archeology on my own projects, i came across a snippet from when i went through a Racket phase (the lispy programming language). And it's like "get in loser, we're going shopping (for parentheses)".

(for ([i (in-naturals)])
(display (integer->char (inexact->exact (floor (+ 9585.5 (random)))))))

#10print #racket #lisp

This is the program 10print. I have a simpler earlier version:

(for ([i (in-naturals)])
(display (integer->char (random #x2571 #x2573))))

Quoting the memo:

The outgoing Steering Committee was elected in 2009 and successfully oversaw the production and ratification of the R7RS small language report until 2013. Unfortunately, during the protracted initial development of the R7RS large language after that, it fell dormant.

The current Scheme Working Group resolved in September 2025 to ask the Steering Commitee for a new election because it felt that after such long dormancy the outgoing Steering Committee was no longer able, as a group, to make and implement decisions effectively.

The Scheme standardization process charter says, ‘The Steering Committee itself shall establish procedures for replacing its members.’ The outgoing Steering Committee unanimously decided to delegate this task to the current Working Group. The Working Group has very closely modelled the procedure to be used this time on the procedure used last time.

The Working Group has written a statement to candidates and voters explaining what it hopes for in a new steering committee.

Is so random for me that Clojure runs in the JVM, literally the last thing I think I'll found there is a Lisp dialect.

lisp - How is Racket different from Scheme? - Stack Overflow

" #Racket is ultimately based on #R5RS, and not R6RS and not a strict superset of either. I don't think it can be called 'Scheme' because it's not backwards compatible with any Scheme standard."

I forgot that Racket has such nice docs

我發現 #BeautifulRacket 的巨集，無法把

(macroA foo y z)變成一個正常的 (foo y z) 這個S表達式執行

這樣就沒有足夠的表現力了
