testing: this #racketlang post might show up automatically in the Racket discord server
yet another #racketlang feed test post

"The WebRacket language is a subset of Racket that compiles to WebAssembly" by Jens Axel Søgaard
Ooh #racketlang improved its threading game.
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.

Decomposing factorial of 300K as the product of 300K factors larger than 100K. ~ Gustavo. https://gus-massa.blogspot.com/2025/04/decomposing-factorial-of-300k-as.html #Programming #RacketLang #FunctionalProgramming #Math
There are some issues with it(it shoudl ignore newlines, and it should run the hello world from wikipedia, but it doesn't do either) but here's my #brainfuck interpreter written in #racketlang . I do provide a link to a hello world it does run, showing it's not completely wrong.

I see #HelixEditor is getting a built-in language (eventually, I don’t know when, and I don’t have links to information about it). The language will be a #Scheme called Steel. Steel is inspired by #RacketLang and written in Rust. I’ve written small programs in Racket and don’t much like it. I find them hard to understand when I come back to them later. Probably that’s just lack of experience. Adding a built-in language is a really good thing. Picking a Scheme is almost certainly a great choice, despite my feelings. If I do settle on Helix and if I do end up scripting it, maybe I’ll end up liking Scheme more. As far as I’m concerned, this addition to Helix can’t come soon enough.
