I'd say the "python of lisp" is definitely racket. Beginner friendly, lots of batteries included, large community with lots of libraries. Here's an example of a simple webserver using the standard library: https://docs.racket-lang.org/web-server/run.html#%28part._servlet-env%29 https://docs.racket-lang.org/web-server/run.html#%28part._se... I'm also a fan of the first tutorial on the site. Instead of the boring stuff like hello world, 2+2, print your name etc, they use a built in library for drawing shapes to the console, and learn how to build up procedures for drawing more complex objects. It feels like learning to code with logo (which they also have a clone built in of https://docs.racket-lang.org/logo/index.html https://docs.racket-lang.org/logo/index.html) All the good stuff said, I've never used it for system plumbing scripts like I do with python. I'd imagine it's worse for that due to the sheer popularity python has. https://racket-lang.org/ https://racket-lang.org/
