I'm not sure what you have in mind. How would people use RacketScript in their Frog-generated blogs? What documentation would Frog need to provide?

Answer 2 · 2018-04-21T05:06:48.000Z

Yes, Frog frontend must use RacketScript or urlang or something

Answer 3 · 2018-04-22T14:30:48.000Z

That's not an answer. 'Why do you want RacketScript (oor urlang) for the front end?'

Answer 4 · 2018-04-23T06:09:44.000Z

because of s-expressions, macros, tail call optimization, to share some scheme functions and data structures etc...

Unfortunately I still don't understand. So I can't do this myself. But I'll leave this open at least for awhile.

If someone else understands, and submits a PR with the documentation change? I'd probably merge it.
Or also: If someone submits a rough draft of the new text, right here on this issue? I can do some English prose editing and Scribble-izing. I just don't know how to write this from scratch.

RacketScript and Urlang both compile to standard JavaScript files, which can be included in the same way one would include JavaScript. So there is not much to write wrt to Frog.

yes, but in practice there is a lot of nuances, for example: hot-reloading, location of the shared resources, bundles, minification, etc. I can try myself and describe my experience, but if someone has already done it?

@11111000000 Yes, please. That would be great if you try, and describe your experience.

We can take it from there -- depending on your experience, talk about what to do next, and where.

Probably the page-template.html that Frog generates for your blog, is where you'd want to <link> your js file. (I think everything thereafter will be specific to RacketScript or Urlang, not Frog. But let's see.)

p.s. No, I don't know anyone who's doing this. I'm not even sure why someone would -- for my own blog, I don't have any "fancy" "front-end" things I want to do. But that's just me. I'm not saying you're wrong to want to try this. Good luck!
