Imagine that you have a module already written by someone that does the job you want to, but there is only one variable (example `(define pi 3.14)` ) that you want just override but otherwise would like everything to work as previously. Wouldn't like to copy-paste a one of code

@rml @wingo @cwebber @monkey1 probably the answer given was toatally correct. set! and stuff will work in repl, but won't when launched in the testing env that I just set up.

@rml @wingo @cwebber @monkey1

it won't update setted variable's value in all procedures of `(X)` that uses `x`. `(define (square r pi) (* r r pi))` <-- here pi will stay 3.14 when `square` will be called from `(Y)`

@rml @wingo @cwebber @monkey1

yep. the problem was totally in the testing env

Question for #scheme ☯️ kings & queens 👑 ! Are there an alternative to clojure's alter-var-root https://clojuredocs.org/clojure.core/with-redefs in scheme?

Imagine I have a module `(X)` with `(define a 1) (define-public (f x) (+ x a))` and module `(Y)` that has `#:use-module (X)`. In `(Y)` want to alter a from `(X)` in a way that would also affect `f`. Example: (being in module `(Y)`): `(alter! a 2) (equal? (f 3) 5) => #t`

@civodul Very interesting. But I am in Russia right now and have Russian citizenship and only bachelor's degree in math

[Disclaimer: I know that the chance of actually finding something via Mastodon post is super low, but I'll try]

Looking for #clojure (#clojurescript) or #guile (#scheme ) #job opportunities.
