Documentation of Hacket #42

Closed ShalokShalom closed 5 years ago

Hi there :)

I am currently a little bit confused about the Hacket documentation. Since it is such a different language, is it a bit confusing to see at a first glance, how sweet applies here.

Is there some rule of thumb?

Hello. You can use this package with Hackett by applying the sweet-exp language mixin to Hackett's language. That would look like this declaration at the top of your Racket file:

#lang sweet-exp hackett

Sweet expressions work for most Racket language that uses s-expressions. Since Hackett uses s-expressions, using sweet expressions with it will work like any other sweet-exp use. For example:

#lang sweet-exp hackett

defn square
  [[x] *(x x)]

main $ println $ show $ square(3)

BTW: I would encourage asking this kind of question on the Racket mailing list or slack channel, you'll probably get help a lot sooner that way. Please use github issues to report bugs or feature requests. Cheers.
