plan to build a continuous integration system in racket

[Xu Xue]

Hi, all

I am a senior student and plan to build a continuous integration system using Racket as my graduation project.

I'm very new to Racket web programming and CI/CD (about CI system I've already found some great projects to refer to).

I've just gone through [Web Applications in Racket] and bought [Server: Racket].

Are there any other starter resources or experiences to share about the Racket web programming?

Or maybe isn't it a good choice to dive into the web field using Racket?

Some core devs are already looking into building a new CI/CD for use in the project. Maybe it would be worth taking a look at the Racket Slack and ask if you can participate in the #ci channel.

Re: web dev, maybe one of my posts can help, but it's more of a supplement to a guide you already read https://sagegerard.com/racket-webserver-notes.html

I think it's a great idea to learn Racket in any case, but I'm not sure what your goals are in getting in the web field. The web-server package is a behemoth of an engineering effort, and it's use of serializable continuations is an advantage IMO. Is there anything else in particular that you are hoping to find?

Sage, correct me if I misunderstood but I think Xu wants to build a CI system in Racket (like buildbot or CircleCI)- not necessarily a CI system for Racket. So his work would be orthogonal to ours.

I always thought Racket to be a great basis for a CI system. Not only because ... well, Racket but because each system necessarily needs a way to describe pipelines and most use some sort of yaml. With Racket you could potentially design something much closer to what a CI description language needs (dreaming now about a #lang ci) while remaining tightly integrated with the remainder of the system. Also, the fact that racket supports so many platforms would provide an advantage over designing it in other languages.

I am definitely not an expert in web programming in Racket or in general but if I can provide any insights into CI, feel free to reach out.

Yes, I understood that. Speaking for myself I'd want to see what other people are doing to inform my own designs. My suggestion was in that spirit.
