The bee is still on! Have you made a contribution yet? Write a macro with Racket this summer! Win stickers!
The purpose of this event is to grow the syntax-parse-example documentation and repository to grow as a resource for the Racket community. (You can also contribute directly to the syntax parse examples repository) It's like a Quilting Bee, but for syntax parse macros! Submit by opening an issue here: https://github.com/syntax-objects/Summer2021/issues/new?assignees=&labels=entry&template=enter-the-syntax-parse-bee.md&title=%5Bentry+-+name%2Fdescription+of+macro%5D On Tue, 13 Jul 2021 at 09:06, Stephen De Gabrielle <[email protected]> wrote: > It’s very exciting seeing the entries pouring in. > > Reminder: Racket includes a macro debugger > <https://docs.racket-lang.org/macro-debugger/index.html> to make it > easier for the experienced to debug their macros and for beginners to study > their behaviour: https://docs.racket-lang.org/macro-debugger/index.html > > Click ‘Macro Stepper’ in DrRacket or M-x racket-stepper-mode in Racket > Mode if you prefer Emacs: https://www.racket-mode.com/#Macro-expand > > Bw > Stephen > > On Thu, 1 Jul 2021 at 01:23, Ben Greenman <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Hi folks, >> >> *Write a macro with Racket this summer!
