(Typed) Racket has been on my radar, though there have been some worries, e.g. the performance issues when crossing the typed/unityped boundary. Hopefully those can be fixed.
I know it's my own failing, but I've also had a lot of trouble with the incredible amount of parens and symbols in TR/TC -- I'm used to the near-math notation of Haskell dammit! :). It's just one of those things -- I have actually written non-trivial code in Scheme, but I've been spoiled by Haskell. Intellectually, I deeply appreciate the value of homoiconicity, but sadly I just can't get past the aesthetics.
EDIT: FWIW, if I were to go with gradual typing, I think TR would probably be close to ideal. It's an amazingly well thought-through language in terms of module system, integration of the macro system with modules, the syntax-parse macro system, etc. Kudos!
