The loop macro is impressive for many of its esoteric keywords. Maximizing, collect, append, etc. There is also the for/then construct that I find much easier to work with than alternatives for the same behavior. I have no doubt much of this can be done with the racket constructs. But I still find I can more easily read loop usages I've written in the past. Whereas many similarly dense for/folds are opaque within a few minutes for me. :(
