    The way the Rhombus / Racket community does libraries has to change. That whole package site has to change. Being a contributor on there exposes you to a steady stream of fraud garbage. There's nothing to promote the top libraries as the top libraries.

      I experimented with Rhombus some time ago (most especially with Shplait). Is there much new with Shplait? Something I remember struggling with was trying to use racket libraries in Rhombus/Shplait

    I wish they had chosen a more "modern" name for the language.

      What would be a modern name for a language?

      Honestly a unique searchable name is better. I type in racket and results are mixed with tennis and I need to suffix "Language"

        well, i also have to type "rhombus language" to get relevant results for the rhombus language

        .NET/.NET Core/.NET Framework migration is painful because of this. VS/VSCode is sometimes only possible with AI’s help.
