Move content from the Racket2 wiki entry to this repository about rhombus-prototype HOT 7 CLOSED

Thank you! @spdegabrielle

from rhombus-prototype.

Link for the lazy https://github.com/racket/racket/wiki/Racket2

What is the idea? Move each one to a new issue? Many of them have already been copied. Perhaps we can add a link in the item in the wiki to the issue when it makes sense. It's not a 1-to-1 correspondence, but the first is included in #22

Another question: What about minor changes, for example I'd like to force that the last argument of append is a list? too. I'm worried to have a million of tiny proposals.

I think that issues and RFCs here are more trackable that the Wiki. I literally think everything on the wiki should move over. For little things, I think they should be included as notes in a general "clean up library interfaces" task

@jeapostrophe I'm happy to move each item on https://github.com/racket/racket/wiki/Racket2 to individual issues on https://github.com/racket/racket2-rfcs

Do you think these issues need labels to distinguish the differnet sorts? e.g. 'create an rfc', feature wishlist(form the Racket2 wiki page), and administration issues like this #26 ?

@jeapostrophe I created the ones with known authors:

• The .zo and .dep files should be invisible to the user #32
• Use syntax parameters in for loops for break and continue instead of keywords #31
• Make all of match’s patterns properly hygienic, rather than inspecting datums for the primitive pattern-matching constructs. #30
• The values returned by make-custom-hash-types and make-custom-set-types have a different order. Change one of them to improve consistency. #29
• Mutable vector should be growable. #28
• make regexes not need double escaping #27

@jeapostrophe the older entries have been moved to a single issue #33 and the wiki page changed to let contributors know they should use this repo

@jeapostrophe if you are happy please close this issue.
kind regards
