Audio and Music

Libraries for manipulating audio.

• 3s - Positional sound and mixing for lux and other applications.
• RSound - A framework for manipulating and playing sounds using the portaudio library. Runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and linux.
• libopenal-racket - Racket wrapper to the OpenAL library first written by gcr in 2012.
• midi-readwrite - Library to read .mid files in racket
• openal - FFI for OpenAL.
• osc - Open Sound Control data definitions.
• portaudio - Bindings for portaudio, a cross-platform audio library.
• rsc3 - SuperCollider client ported to Racket.
• rtmidi - Provides racket bindings for the RtMidi library, thus enabling racket programs to send and receive MIDI events.
• sonic-pi - For now, this package starts scsynth just like sonic pi does, and can make a few sounds.
• taglib - Bindings to the taglib C library, which provides simple access to audio file metadata.
• wavelet-transform-haar-1d - A library to perform forward and reverse 1-d Haar Wavelet transforms.

Compilers

Tools for compiling Racket to other languages.

• abstract-compilation - DSL reducing boiler plates for doing abstract compilation.
• disassemble - Disassembler for Racket.
• lens - A Racket package for creating and composing pure functional lenses.
• minipascal - MiniPascal as a Racket language.
• racketscript - A lightweight Racket to JavaScript compiler with some batteries included.
• urlang - Write JavaScript with Racket syntax. Bonus: Use Racket to define macros for JavaScript constructs.
• wasm-adventure - A WebAssembly DSL.
• whalesong-tools - DrRacket tool for compiling with Whalesong.

Data Structures

Generic datastructures and algorithms.

• algebraic - Algebraic structures for untyped Racket.
• dssl - Data Structures Student Language: an extension of ASL for easier imperative programming.
• dssl2 - A language for data structures students.
• gls - Generic Little (Object, Type, Anything, etc) System - multiple dispatch on types.
• graph - Generic graph library.
• opt - Optional and Either data type utilities. Provides util function for Typed Racket's Option type as well as defines an Either type.
• phc-adt - Algebraic Data Types for Typed/Racket, with features tailored to compiler writing. The data types do not have to be declared before they are used, like prefab structs and symbols. Behind the scenes, this library remembers all the data types in a file, and uses it to implicitly pre-declare them. Mostly stable, although some things may change a bit in the future.
• quad-tree - A fairly simple quad-tree implementation. Nothing terribly fancy. Currently rather unstable.
• try - A Typed Racket Try datatype and routines for computations that throw exceptions.

Database Drivers

Libraries for connecting and operating databases.

• binary-class-dbf - Interface to *.dbf files (dBase, Foxpro, etc).
• db - Database connectivity (main distribution).
• dbm - An interface to UNIX dbm files using a libdbm FFI.
• deta - A functional database mapper.
• fra - Purely functional implementation of relational algebra.
• mongodb - A native Racket interface to MongoDB & BSON.
• rackdis - Redis bindings.
• racquel - Racquel is an object/relational mapper for Racket.
• redis - A redis client for Racket.
• sql - an S-expression notation for SQL.
• sqlite-table - A quick way to create and query sqlite tables. Basically a simplified wrapper for a subset of the db library.

Emulators

Racket programs emulating other computers and architectures

• 6502 - An emulator/assembler/disassembler for 6502.
• virtual-mpu - Universal Emulator & Assembler for Old Microprocessors.
