Chez Scheme txtar port from Go

This is a loose port of https://golang.org/x/tools/txtar, which concatenates files together and allows for a top-level comment. The txtar format is specifically designed to be easy for humans to read and write by hand. It's perfect for test data. The library itself tries to follow scheme standards by depending on only SRFIs (and if you're new to scheme like me, SRFI stands for "Scheme Requests For Implementation," and it's like a standard library). I hope this is a helpful showcase of a scheme library! I'm also new to writing scheme, and if any experienced…

In plain words

Chez Scheme txtar port is a library that concatenates files together with an optional top-level comment, ported from Go's txtar tool. The txtar format prioritizes human readability and writability, making it suitable for test data. The library adheres to Scheme standards by relying exclusively on SRFI dependencies, designed for developers working with Scheme who need a straightforward way to manage structured text files.

  • A toy version of Wireshark (student project)2025 · github.com · ▲265

    Hi everyone, I recently published a small open-source project. It’s a minimal network packet analyzer written in Go — designed more like a learning toy than a replacement for Wireshark. It currently supports parsing basic protocols like TLS, DNS, and HTTP, and includes a tiny fuzzing engine to test payload responses. You can inspect raw packet content directly from the terminal. The output is colored for readability, and the code structure is kept simple and clear. The entire program is very small — just about 400 lines of Go code. I know it’s not anywhere near Wireshark’s level, and I still…

    No gc, No goroutines, Produces small binaries while using the unmodified official go toolchain, and comes with complete Web SDK (generated from w3c/webref). We are building `pcz` to provide a reimagination of Go the language, in an effort to make it suitable for all kinds of programming tasks, and currently you can use it to build efficient web applications in Go using the generated Web SDK (as shown with the live web demo[1]). The journey is just starting, any suggestions? or any critics? [1]: https://primecitizens.github.io/livedemos/10-plat-web/

    Goqite, a persistent message queue Go library built on SQLite2024 · goqite.com · ▲99

    I wanted to build a persistent message queue based on SQLite, because that's what I'm using for my main state anyway. This gives me ACID across state and messaging, which is nice! I've been inspired by the terminology of AWS SQS for this, but it's obviously much simpler. Maybe you can use it too. :)

And this project is based here(https://github.com/ufo5260987423/scheme-langserver). I built it because I was tired of Scheme/Lisp's raggy development environment, especially of the lack of IDE-like highly customized programing experience. Though DrRacket and many REPL-based counterparts have don't much, following general cases aren't reach same-level as in other…

    I got laid off from Meta and created a minor hit on Steam▲1,581

    I was at FB/Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler/runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave. I immediately started making games in my newfound free time (a lifelong interest, and I even worked in AA(A?) back ca. ~2000), and in October 2023 I stumbled upon the idea of a roguelike pachinko/plinko game inspired by Luck Be A Landlord. Things snowballed quickly, I started talking to publishers, then worked like crazy through all of 2024, almost the hardest I've ever worked in my career, and launched the game in December 2024. It's sold…
