04:00 hkBst: the racket website doesn't seem to contain a good short description of racket that I can use as a package description. Any suggestions?
04:11 (join) MayDaniel
04:35 eli: hkBst: There's a tiny blurb here: http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Programming/Languages/Lisp/Racket/
04:36 hkBst: eli: what about (from WP): Racket is a programming language derived from Scheme?
04:37 eli: hkBst: That's not really a description of the language...
04:41 hkBst: eli: I don't like the DMOZ blurb very much TBH and it's already a bit too long, what with it saying that racket is suitable for every imaginable programming task.
04:44 hkBst: what about: Racket is a Scheme-{derived,inspired} programming language with ... ?
04:44 hkBst: and then you can list a few of the features you think are most important to list
04:48 eli: hkBst: "Scheme-derived" is as relevant as "typed-in-mostly-ASCII"...  Being a general PL with a focus on making new languages is kind of like a short description of the relevant aspects.

04:53 hkBst: eli: well I'm not hung up on that part even though I think it means a lot of things (s-expression syntax, macros, continuations, etc...). So you'd like: "Racket is a general PL with a focus on making new languages" or maybe something like "Racket is a general PL with strong support for using DSLs"?
04:54 eli: I think of "making" rather than "using".
04:54 eli: But yeah, you have a point too.
05:01 hkBst: eli: just "strong support for DSLs" then? :)
05:03 eli: hkBst: That sounds reasonable.
05:03 eli: What is it for, btw?
05:05 hkBst: eli: it's for thj
05:06 hkBst: eli: it's for the package description of Racket as a Gentoo package
05:09 hkBst: alright, so I'll go with "Racket is a general-purpose programming language with strong support for domain-specific languages." then?
05:21 eli: hkBst: That sounds fine for a one liner, as well as throwing a "lisp family" or "derived fromm scheme" or something like that.
05:21 eli: It's better than the other blurbs anyway.  (IIRC, most of them are paraphrases of the blurbs from the plt days.)
