Hi all, I'm announcing a new package: fuse ( https://github.com/thinkmoore/racket-fuse). fuse is a racket library for implementing filesystems in userspace using the FUSE API available on many *nix platforms and OS X (currently, I've only tested using recent releases of FUSE on Linux). People have used FUSE to implement a wide variety of neat stuff, like distributed filesystems, providing a filesystem API for accessing a music library by various search criteria, or mounting gmail as a storage system. Now you can write your own filesystem in Racket! The package implements communication routines for interfacing with the FUSE kernel driver. Client programs can implement a userspace filesystem by providing a collection of functions that implement filesystem operations. Currently, the package depends on the libfuse C library to mount a FUSE filesystem. However, the communication protocol with the kernel and filesystem API does not reuse libfuse functionality, and this dependency will be removed in a future release. The FUSE API is huge and I've only done very limited testing, so there are likely bugs. If you encounter some, please file an issue!
