What is Racket?

Racket (formerly PLT Scheme) is a modern programming language in the Lisp/Scheme family, suitable for a wide range of applications. It goes beyond Lisp and Scheme with dialects that support objects, types, laziness, and more. Racket enables programmers to link components written in different dialects, and it empowers programmers to create new, project-specific dialects. Racket's libraries support applications from web servers and databases to GUIs and charts.

Racket comes with an IDE called DrRacket (formerly DrScheme).
