Fwd: Re: Racket code query

[Stephen De Gabrielle]

Hi

Please see the thread below for a query from Connie who is trying to make her own language (11yo?!)

I believe this is her code;

https://github.com/conniepocky/Waffle-Lang

I think this is the last working version?

Connie said this is the question she has:

I’m trying to create a repl to add to my language that I’m making in Racket. I had made a repl before but since I made the compiler its broken! I think maybe racket updated so thats why it doesn’t work anymore. How should I attempt to recreate or fix this?

Please let me know if Connie is uncomfortable with those options? 

If she prefers Stack Overflow I can copy the question and forward it on to the mailing list.

Hi Donna,

I think the best place to get help is at

https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!forum/racket-users

asking there is a good way to get help. I’ll certainly keep an eye out and answer if I can.

Another good place to ask for help is the Racket Slack #beginners channel. Slack is a chat service, and as the Americans are awake in our evening she is sure to get a quick response.

1.  signup/register at https://racket-slack.herokuapp.com

2. login at https://racket.slack.com/

3. Go to the #beginners channel

I got these instructions from https://racket-lang.org

Both of these are better than Stack overflow in my opinion.

Kind regards

Stephen

Hi Stephen

Hope all is well with you!

Connie has a problem with her code for her language she’s making. She’s been working on it and not been able to solve it this past week.


To save her spending hours more trying to fix it!

Thanks,


Donna

what i learnt from the helpful responses is about the paramatize function. i didnt think of using it or know about but now i do :) i also didn't think of using read-eval-print-loop! And I hadn't seen/heard of it before, so thank you for helping it was very useful. I fixed my code and it’s working now. I’ll update my github today  :)
