Scheme Coding Competition

[amz3]

Hello racketeers,

I am organizing a Scheme coding competition where you have

to build a static blog generator with a mystery feature (that will
be revealed little by little in the next few months).

We already have sourcehut.org as a sponsor and I am actively looking

for other sponsors to reward the participants (goodies, cloud credits, books...).

You can use any racket-based language but you get maximum bonus points if

you rely on R7RS!

More information after the jump:

https://git.sr.ht/~schemers/competition-2019-static-blog-generator#schemers-competition-2019

Ultimately the goal is to contribute a scheme and racket presence at https://www.staticgen.com/

Follow @sche...@mastodon.technology for more regular updates.

Good read and good luck!

Are there specifics anywhere?  I mean, if all we have to do is use Scheme-ish to turn text into HTML on our local machine then I could just do:

#lang racket

(require racket/system)

(system "pod2html foo.pod >out.html")

Oh, wait.  I didn't scroll down far enough.  There's a bunch of irrelevant stuff at the top, then a giant image, and the requirements are down at the bottom.  My bad.

Huh.  Why is Racket worth only 25 points while everything else is 50 or 75?  Is the idea is that Racket is too powerful and needs a handicap?
