Racket is not just a programming language, but also a flexible platform for creating entirely new languages. With roots in Scheme and Lisp, Racket provides powerful macros, support for multiple paradigms (functional, object-oriented, reactive), and a built-in environment for crafting domain-specific languages via the convenient #lang system.

It’s not only academics who appreciate Racket - it is widely used in education, research, and hobby projects. The DrRacket environment makes it easy to get started, and variants like Typed Racket let you choose between dynamic and static typing. Whether you want to design a new language, build a game, or explore deeper programming concepts, Racket encourages creativity and experimentation.

So if you’re eager to push the boundaries of what a programming language can be - or even create your own - Racket is an ideal playground.
