What exactly is the difference between Racket and Scheme, how are they related?
- ioddly 10y agoRacket is derived from Scheme. Sometime after R6RS I believe they decided to just call their own not-necessarily compatible language Racket, but Racket can also run RxRS scheme code. http://racket-lang.org/new-name.html http://racket-lang.org/new-name.html
- nilved 10y agoRacket was formerly PLT Scheme, but it became such a superset of R6RS that it is now considered its own language. However, I believe it has options for Scheme compatibility.

- brudgers 10y agoThe big differences in my experience are defaulting to immutability and embracing the idea of being a big language...so big that Racket is many languages, not just one.
