A language for making languages — the #lang line means the parser itself is pluggable; academia's most ambitious pedagogical platform.

Descended from Scheme

PLT Scheme became Racket (2010) — a language for making languages: #lang, the syntax transformer, and programmable syntax as the feature.\n\nIt is the academic Lisp that took language-oriented programming seriously; Beautiful Racket documents it.
