I’m afraid I do not understand this bug report. Can you give an example of a program you think behaves incorrectly?

Hmm, yes, that is a little bit problematic, isn’t it? The R7RS spec reserves the `srfi` library namespace, so it would at least be semi-feasible to provide some sort of...

Those statistics are very helpful, thank you. The reason I am reluctant to compromise on this issue is that the goal of this package is to implement R7RS, not “R7RS...

Those are both valid points, though I am unsure that Racket’s debugging facilities are _really_ all that fantastic, and as you mention, there are not currently many R7RS libraries a...

Alright, I have had time to give this some actual thought, and it seems like two languages is probably the way to go. The question remains what these languages should...

Would this make the homepage inaccessible by screen readers?

IMO, struct inheritance is not well supported in Racket, which makes doing stuff like this basically impossible in a way that satisfies the lens laws. I would recommend not using...

That wouldn’t even address the problem in general, since you could define a substruct of that struct, and it would exhibit the same slicing problem, so you’d have to put...

Having a sufficiently powerful impersonator isn’t enough to have the right behavior here because it’s still **impossible** to dynamically determine the actual type of a struct and perform a non-slicing...

Ah, I see. Since that wouldn’t work with heterogenous lists, though, what exactly would be the point of using subtyping here, though? I just feel a little wary about the...
