spacesuitman2··on Ask HN: Companies using Racket?
Why do you dislike racket?
spacesuitman2··on Ask HN: Companies using Racket?
That's unfortunate. Perhaps people should be informed about `#lang racket` first, but I'm not sure how you missed this. It's fairly easy to see in the documentation.

What about Racket's ability for arbitrary languages via #lang, not just macros? Are there any plans for this?

It's really nice to be able to do #lang c and just write C that is FFI'd into racket so you can avoid using an external toolchain to compile.

This. Racket simply allows you to address any problem domain in an even more powerful manner than other Lisp's: simply by creating a truly independent parser and interpreter that still has nice interop with the rest of racket.

Not to mention, the metaprogramming facilities are the most advanced in the world.
