This approach has really helped me out in my work. I do something very similar using DuckDB to slurp output files anytime I write a custom hierarchical model. The single sql queryable file simplified my storage and analytics pipeline. I imagine SQLite would be especially ideal where long term data preservation is critical.

I think the developers had the same idea https://fossil-scm.org/

There seems to be no single software solution "out there" for mounting an SQLite DB (or an SQLite archive) as a file system, with or without per-record relative paths.

Is there a software solution to mounting any DB as a filesystem?

Speaking of lisp, if I wanted to use a lisp nowadays, what would be the best choice, common lisp, clojure or some scheme implementation?

spdegabrielle · a month ago

Racket of course!

More seriously, there is no one ‘best lisp’.

What you use depends on the needs of the project. That might mean Racket, Guile, Clojure, SBCL or something else. It all depends on what you need to do.

I feel like version 9 just getting parallel threads kind of contradicts the homepage when it says Racket is "Mature" and "Polished".

This is addressed in the blog post linked from the release announcement: https://blog.racket-lang.org/2025/11/parallel-threads.html

I've wanted to try racket a few times but always found the "IDE" to be really unintuitive, clunky and weird. What gives? Is that by design or is it just that nothing better has been created so far?

spdegabrielle · a month ago

The IDE is not the language.

Racket has good support in VSCode (via magic Racket and the Racket langserver), Emacs (Racket Mode) and Vim. https://download.racket-lang.org/releases/9.0/doc/guide/othe...

The Racket Langserver obviously enables use in other editors that support the LSP. https://github.com/jeapostrophe/racket-langserver For editors that lack LSP support, scheme support is generally sufficient.

All that aside, DrRacket the IDE has some nice features that just don't exist in other editors. I don't know of another IDE that has an integrated macro stepper.

What are some difference between the education tooling around Racket and that which enables "industrial" applications Common Lisp is known for?

spdegabrielle · a month ago

That's a good question.

The education tooling is all optional (so their only impact is perceptual) DrRacket, teaching languages, and supporting libraries are all optional. (see Minimal Racket - just the compiler and package manager https://download.racket-lang.org/releases/9.0/#:~:text=SHA25... )

I'd like to know what tooling is missing from Racket that is available in major general purpose languages like C#, Java, or Common Lisp implementations?

I really need to try ‘syntax-spec’ and Rosette.
