17:41 <mwnaylor> Is there a good tutorial or reference to built in Racket libraries? Specifically, looking into file system APIs. Reading/writing files, parsing directories and subdirectories, etc.

17:46 <samth> mwnaylor: is https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/Filesystem.html the sort of thing you're looking for?

17:50 <mwnaylor> samth: That looks close. Is it version specific? Is there a downloadable copy of this reference?

17:52 <samth> mwnaylor: that's the main Racket reference documentation. The version on docs.racket-lang.org is for the current release. You can download all the documentation for a given release from here (click on pdf): https://download.racket-lang.org/all-versions.html

17:52 <samth> also if you have racket installed then your local docs should have it

17:52 <mwnaylor> Never mind, I went up the links and saw this message at the top index: The source of this manual is available on GitHub.

17:53 <mwnaylor> The "all version" link is helpful. I currently have vers 7.9 installed, via a Slackbuild.

17:54 <samth> mwnaylor: what happens if you run `raco docs file-exists`

17:59 <mwnaylor> It opened a brower tab w/ the content for Search Manuals and that matches for that string (or regex). Your hints will let me read relevant documentation. I just needed to find the link to The Racket Reference on my local system.

18:08 <mwnaylor> For those who have used both, how does geiser-racket compare to cider? From my experience, cider gives a strong intergration with writing code in a source file and compiling and debugging functions with the repl.

22:32 <bremner> Cider is for clojure?

22:35 <bremner> There is also racket-mode, but I wouldn't expect it to be stronger for repl stuff
