[$] Racket: Lisp for learning

Lisp is one of the oldest programming languages still inuse today-Fortran is older by a year, but the Lisp community (orcommunities) seems to be the more dynamic of the two. In any case, the Lisplandscape has a lot of nooks and crannies to explore; I recently ran into adialect that I had not encountered before: Racket. That may simply reflectignorance on my part, but, while I was introduced to Lisp (too) many moonsago, I had not really paid it much mind until I sat in on a talk about Lisp at linux.conf.au earlier thisyear. Something about Racket caught my eye, so I did some poking around tosee what it is all about.
