[racket] racket, scheme, and message-passing clusters?
Thanks to Jay and Robby for their replies.
I honestly don't care what form of message-passing I use, I just don't want to
write my own. My app will eventually run different very large programs (100,000
lines of C-like procedural code) on clustered machines controlled by a head node.
I have to rewrite all my original code in SOMETHING (it's in PASCAL because
that's what I'm virtuosic in and that's what I've been using for 25 years)
and I
was preparing to rewrite in C and use MPI, but I've decided it's better to
switch all at once.
If I learn Gambit Scheme (that apparently includes an Erlang link),
how far from
Racket is that?
Or is there a better solution? For instance, should I use Racket (which is my
preference because we might start teaching it here) and assume that by the time
I need it (a few years from now) there will be some intrinsic clustering
facilities?
THANKS
