Why Racket? Why Lisp? (2014)

One thing this could have elaborated on more is the idea that libraries themselves can become domain-specific languages in Racket. For example, we have hash-langs for building GUIs[0][1] and webservers[2].

This post is also somewhat outdated. It mentions:

Paul Graham’s programming language Arc, a dialect of Lisp, was built on top of Racket.

But, recently, they seem to have reimplemented Arc in Common Lisp. Hacker News runs on top of Arc.
