  Don't read this post. Racket since grew a full library of purely functional datastructures, cleaned up hashes, provides builtin streams and generators and as for the syntax - well, it's a lisp: write your own syntax and be done with it! ;) [edit: https://github.com/takikawa/racket-clojure/blob/master/lang/clojure.rkt https://github.com/takikawa/racket-clojure/blob/master/lang/...] Anyway, this post should be either updated or at least marked as not entirely relevant three years later.

    That's good to know, thanks. I'm taking a Coursera course that teaches Racket, so I just started learning it this week. First time using a Lisp/Scheme family language. So far I actually really like the use of parentheses and the concept of the code itself being a data structure. I'll probably give Clojure a try once I have a firm grasp on Racket, they seem quite similar.
