Racket implementation of Syndicate

The language itself

This repository contains a Racket implementation of Syndicate in syndicate, which includes

• the implementation of the #lang syndicate language, in the syndicate directory.

• a TCP echo server example, which listens for connections on port 5999 by default, in syndicate/examples/echo.rkt. Connect to it using, for example, telnet localhost 5999.

• a handful of other examples, in syndicate/examples/.

Auxiliary collects

• syndicate-gl is a Syndicate interface to 2D OpenGL based graphics

Compiling and running the code

You will need Racket version 6.4.0.14 or later.

Once you have Racket installed, run

raco pkg install syndicate

to install the package from the Racket package repository, or

raco pkg install

from the racket/ directory of the Git checkout to install the package from a local snapshot. (Alternatively, make link does the same thing.) This will make #lang syndicate available to programs.

At this point, you may load and run any of the example *.rkt files in the syndicate/examples/ directory.
