To add to this, OP, there is an interesting blog with many examples of graphics development in Racket: https://alex-hhh.github.io/ https://alex-hhh.github.io/ I have written a couple GUI applications in Racket; maybe they can serve as motivation to discover Racket's GUI capabilities: https://github.com/evdubs/chart-simulator https://github.com/evdubs/chart-simulator https://github.com/evdubs/renegade-way https://github.com/evdubs/renegade-way There are limitations to Racket's GUI toolkit compared to writing a native Qt/GTK/WPF/Cocoa application. You may find it easy to express simple/not-so-complex interfaces and then find it much more difficult to do other things. There's also the fact that Racket's real threads story isn't so great. If I needed to write a cross-platform GUI application for the masses, I'd probably pick JavaFX over Racket, but Racket has been very impressive if your initial impression is to not expect much.
