> The thing that is the Special Sauce for Racket is it's macro system. You can build your own language for specific things easily or you can extend Racket with a library also much easier then the other 5-6 languages.

Compare the raw format:

How are macros going to give me a better solution that the one which exists, is tested and have been used by others for some time? Besides, macros are a meme. What difference are macros going to make when wrapping a api? Can you show me an existing lisp/clojure wrapper which is more expressive than python/ruby?
