:Hi, Eli. About the spacing. For me, it is ''much'' more readable that way, and since I'm much less proficient than you are (no emotional charge here, just plain fact) at reading and writing Scheme/Racket, I can only assume that it will also be much easier for a casual reader, unfamiliar with the language -- which I assume ''is'' the target audience of this site. As for the evens "optimization", I'll try to revert it. -- [[User:WillNess|WillNess]] ([[User talk:WillNess|talk]]) 13:00, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
:I remember now how that happened. You had [http://rosettacode.org/mw/index.php?title=Sieve_of_Eratosthenes&diff=189173&oldid=189146#Using_threads_and_channels <code>(ints-from 3 2)</code> there], and I just went along with your 2, instead of correcting it to 1.

:: I don't think that that code is mine, at least not directly (the whole sieve thing went out of control with all kinds of arguments around it, which lead to a pile of stuff that goes against simple examples, and I got tired of fighting it at some point). Still, I'd like to see it stays at roughly the same level with no further obscuring optimizations... As for the spacing, being a newbie or not is really not a good factor (if only because many real newbies writing single parens on a line in an attempt to mimic C), instead, it should be as standard looking as possible, and double spaces is something that is not. --[[User:Elibarzilay|Elibarzilay]] ([[User talk:Elibarzilay|talk]]) 19:38, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
