That case in particular I've thought about a lot, and I don't _think_ it's a conflict because it only applies when `_` is used in certain expression positions and this...
Yeah I was just imagining using some sort of `#%define` form to actually define `_`.
> Also, one place where `_` currently has special meaning is with contracts. See `->i`. That's part of the reason why I think we need to be really careful attaching...
Could this be an ordinary Racket macro? As far as I know, it's a syntactic feature of JS only; there's no special runtime support for it.
At least for the How to Design Programs book, the experience of the authors of that book has been that the S-expressions made it more difficult for students, not less.
Isn't this already the case today? The [linklet layer](https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/linklets.html) acts as such a boundary. My understanding is that different implementations of the Racket VM (such as Racket CS and Pycket)...
I'm a little confused, are you proposing this as something _you'd_ like to do? Or the current maintainers of Scribble? The latter seems unlikely to happen since this is a...
Personally I really like the behavior of some editors where they refresh changed files automatically without requiring user interaction as long as you have no unsaved changes for that file....
I'll give it a shot tonight.
Did you have a concrete use case for this? Mutable lists and pairs are generally discouraged in Racket, I'm not sure making them easier to use is a good idea.
