As a scheme guy in general, I myself am very excited by typed/racket. I have always been torn between ML-like languages and lisp-style, with the latter winning most of the time. I have gotten so used to the syntax that I prefer it to most other languages.
But I miss the niceness of typing, which typed racket provides. There are some warts, like having to explicitly typecast when using two polymorphic functions, and that the curry procedure doesn't work as in racket, but other than that it is not far from what I would perceive as the perfect language.
I could of course wish for some other things, like making a curried and strictly typed scheme-like language, but i'm not going to push my luck :)
