I am happy to see Racket make it to the front page. After using mostly Common Lisp for research programming since 1982, I now more often turn to Racket. There are parts of Racket I don’t like, which is most everything *NOT* the compiler, package management system, GUI IDE, Emacs bindings, fun language to use.
I don’t care for much of the programming language research parts of the ecosystem - that is the parts that the computer scientist professors who run the project probably care about the most. More power to them!
So I feel like a freeloader on the Racket project, just enjoying the little parts I like and ignoring the rest, and not contributing anything (except maybe the little Racket book I wrote).
