As a racket user I wouldn't say racket is a good scripting language unless you use racket/base and manually require the extra cruft. Startup is quite darn noticeable even on my relatively fast ssd-equipped laptop. For small scripts the startup time is often by far the largest part of the total run time.
But yeah, racket is fun.

I really am excited by clojure for scripting though.
