Racket is trying to make itself an acceptable Python at this time [1]. Also I used to use Racket and the biggest issue was the lack of batteries either were included or I could find a library that would work. But the biggest issue is the community itself [2] and that isn’t going to change any time soon. 1. https://github.com/racket/rhombus-prototype/blob/master/resources/state-of-rhombus.md https://github.com/racket/rhombus-prototype/blob/master/reso... 1. https://beautifulracket.com/appendix/why-i-no-longer-contribute-to-racket.html https://beautifulracket.com/appendix/why-i-no-longer-contrib...

How is the Racket community an issue when the "issue" is that one guy bullies (some very particular) people? I've regularly posted reaaaally stupid things on the Racket forums and lists and people (including the core team) have always been super patient and welcoming. I really don't understand that "holier than thou" sentiment. I guess most people really shouldn't go eat in fancy restaurants or seek care from well-known hospitals either, then? Because many well-known chefs, lead doctors, etc. are really no nice people. How is that the community's problem?
