"Racket (formerly named PLT Scheme) is a general purpose, multi-paradigm programming language in the Lisp/Scheme family. One of its design goals is to serve as a platform for language creation, design, and implementation. The language is used in a variety of contexts such as scripting, general-purpose programming, computer science education, and research." - [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racket_(programming_language) "Wikipedia page on racket")
