I am not at my main computer at the moment so I can't confirm yet, but IIRC Racket is available as a much smaller language core set of tools sufficient to run CLI scripts. I consider Racket to be a "batteries included", curated distribution of the Racket lang CLI tools, plus a lot of libraries, including libraries for GUI development. Lots of documentation and the IDE. The TeXLive distribution might be somewhat analogous; billions of bytes of fonts and GUI apps, a package manager... https://www.tug.org/texlive/ https://www.tug.org/texlive/
