  Gerbil looks a lot like what one very prolific and opinionated hacker calls home. There's an incredible amount of work just by 1 author https://github.com/vyzo/gerbil/graphs/contributors https://github.com/vyzo/gerbil/graphs/contributors Whereas racket looks steered mainly by the academic group working on it, with some attention shifting to the new Rhombus project https://github.com/racket/rhombus-prototype https://github.com/racket/rhombus-prototype These days everything looks like it's using json/yaml and trying to add logic/constraints to it to make it declarative, either through logic controllers (eg kubernetes operators) or by embedding it in the syntax, eg terraform HCL, declarative UI frameworks. Scheme DSLs are a good alternative and could be used to generate code or glue between the components you use.
