I feel similarly to Gene Kim about Racket. Here's a comparison ...

Gene Kim's Clojure example:

  ; input is JSON string: "{foo: 2}"

  (defn xform [s]
    (-> (js/JSON.parse s)
        js->clj
        (update "foo" + 2)
        clj->js
        js/JSON.stringify))

Racket equivalent:

  #lang racket

  (require threading json)

  ; input is (xform "{\"foo\" : 2 }")

  (define (xform s)
    (~> s
        string->jsexpr
        (hash-update 'foo (λ (x) (+ 2 x)))
        jsexpr->string))
