Somewhat tangentially adjunct to the original topic, "any interest in<br>
doing some cool racket project". I'm attempting to put together a toy<br>
map/reduce (actually more along the lines of the Scala Spark project)<br>
engine over Racket Places to see how it goes. If the toy works, combine<br>
with Toronto's mythical ; ) TRMath collection + a TRPlot, is an<br>
interesting amalgamation.<br>

Hey! I'm currently documenting!<br>
<br>
And then I write a @defproc section and realize, "Hey, I have no idea what the error is on this function!" So I write a bigfloat implementation, run more tests, make another approximation, tweak, fiddle, and curse a lot. Then I can write, "Yup, 4 ulps" in the docs.<br>
<br>
Long story short: be grateful, you big snot.<br>
<br>
Uh, that came out all wrong. It was supposed to be kinda tongue-in-cheek, but I think I chewed the slug a bit.<br>
<br>
Oh, BTW, Vincent recently made changes that should make the types on plot's exported functions a lot nicer. Specifically, keywords now play more nicely with optional arguments. Also, making plot's API more TR-friendly is definitely on my to-do list, mostly because I'm tired of not being able to plot in the same file I'm defining functions.<br>
