It is a fantastic teaching language. So it something like Python. Except it does have very little syntax to get in the way. Close to zero syntax, in fact. You can spend 5 minutes on it, then you are off the races. Advanced concepts (like recursion) are natural. Even more advanced concepts (like macros) are easy. You get the understanding that code is data. Also due to that you also get 'configuration' for your application for free. It is also a great foundation to build on. So it doesn't have OOP by default? Build your system. It will work just the same as if it were built in the language. Racket is actually notorious for being a foundation for other languages to be built upon.
