Same. I learn so much when I try to do something with it.
You know what they say about emacs. "Emacs a great operating system, it's just lacking a decent text editor." Same with Racket. Racket is a great language development framework, the only thing missing is a decent language to write your program in.
It does take a lot more effort and expertise to design a language and a program. That's why it's fun for me, I get to dream more and need to learn more.
I'm inspired by the super interesting Racket papers [1] and PG's book "On Lisp". It helps that I got to use Racket to make a couple basic compilers in some uwaterloo classes too.. but I didn't even use macros for those projects, so I haven't really gotten started with Racket yet ;)
