Description

How should resyntax surface suggestions to users? I can think of several possibilities:

  • A DrRacket plugin that shows you suggestions for the current file. Maybe something similar for racket-mode, maybe even something hooked up to racket-langserver.
  • A GitHub integration that makes suggestions at code review time, possibly with some way to automatically commit them to the pull request branch.
  • A GitHub Actions workflow that automatically opens a pull request refactoring your code once a day/week/etc.
  • A command-line tool for refactoring files directly.
  • A web app where you can tell a bot to refactor a racket package and open a pull request.

Ideas and opinions welcomed!

Research direction
