I think I was trying to articulate the same thing before, why Racket instead of more-practical-tool-here for "experiments/fun" and it really is just because it's more fun to work with, nearly everything you need is in there!

Also personally something I wish more functional languages would have is a little bit of Racket's maximalism with its forms like: (for/list ([e (range 10)]) e) [1] and for/fold, including the nested ones and the like that make mapping over things and even filtering a dream!
