People really should learn Racket through this book: "How to Design Programs, Second Edition" http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/matthias/HtDP2e/ http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/matthias/HtDP2e/ Dense and very complete into learning a Lisp. The one HUGE benefit is I see Racket moving into the most modern programming Lisp. Racket really looks like it has a future. 1) Concurrency and Parallelism (Without pull all your hair out) - http://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/concurrency.html http://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/concurrency.html 2) Great Documentation http://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/index.html http://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/index.html 3) It will make you a better programmer in other languages Racket's biggest problem - It's fun to use so everyone has their own solutions for many common problems.
