Ah yes, I remember seeing an interaction that was probably yours, tried to find it for my comment, but never did.



I don't know what this refers to, but it doesn't ring a bell. The most I might have said is that the community in general is not too interested; but personally, this kind of dynamic interaction is something that I very much appreciate. In fact, when I implemented xrepl (which is now the default when you start racket) being able to modify code inside modules was one of the main goals. The only reason I didn't do something like that for Emacs is that my own use of CL/Scheme variants in Emacs was always very simple, but I actively encouraged people to do something similar for Emacs -- and Geiser/Racket-mode are two serious Emacs packages that actually do that kind of interactive use.


I asked you guys about image-saving because I was considering using Racket to build a new version of bard, and I thought I might like to both use image-saving during development and piggyback on a Racket implementation of it for use in bard's runtime. As I recall, you guys wanted to know what I found compelling about image-saving, but you didn't find it as compelling as I did.

I still might build a bard on Racket, but if so, I'll most likely build my own VM and implement my own image-saving solution for it.

Assuming, of course, that there are enough hours in the day, and enough years in a life.
