Racket is really underrated for some reason. I rarely see it mentioned even though not only is it friendly to beginners (both programming beginners and FP beginners) but has a decent ecosystem.

I played with Racket and used to lurk on their mailing lists for many years! I haven't seen a friendlier community than the Racket community anywhere else.

DrRacket is a great environment to learn programming and play with various concepts, both for beginners and advanced users alike.

i very much agree it's really sad that such a high quality language is held under the radar. Maybe poor marketing? The community is pretty good though.
