Lathe Comforts

Lathe Comforts for Racket is a collection of utilities that are handy for writing Racket code. This is a non-intrusive toolkit; in most cases it should only make certain Racket code easier to write, without substantially changing the architecture of the project it’s used in.

Some of these utilities are designed with Parendown in mind. In some cases, Parendown’s weak opening brackets make it easier to get by with higher-order functions instead of custom syntax. (Note that due to limitations of Scribble’s Racket code formatter, we use Parendown’s ‘pd‘ macro to achieve these weak parens, rather than using its custom reader syntax.)
