Just being exposed to Racket last month I was extremely surprised at how well it clicked with me as opposed to Haskel which I tried to learn for a few months on my own and just tried out SML and it moved to Racket. Can't put a finger on it but Racket just makes sense to me.

I felt the same way, Racket is ridiculously fun to use! :)

Have you tried python..? You might like it

I was trying to get exposure to functional programming. Yes I use Python (less and less) for many years, but I certainly wish there was a python when I was a teenagers.

Racket and Python aren't even remotely comparable as languages. Python is a far less sophisticated language with far richer libraries, and Racket is vice versa.
