As Racket moves to Chez Scheme as its back-end, I believe it’s not JIT but natively compiled: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chez_Scheme

EDIT: it should also allow Racket to be ported to more backends because the move to Chez is meaning more of Racket is implemented in Racket.

You could just do what Python does and accept your language runtime is unbearably slow?

If you want a lisp on mobile kick, I've heard good things about lambdanative. It would still be cool to have racket mobile apps though.

I have only looked at the code and built the demos for lambdanative, but from what I have seen if I had to write mobile apps then I would seriously consider it. It is built in the excellent Gambit Scheme.

I believe Lispworks supports iOS and Android. Since they compile natively, there's no JIT issues on iOS.
