A comment on Racket.

I love seeing framework or language homepages with good copy and design like this one. The best ones make you want to stop what you're doing in your favorite language and go code something with the new hotness right now.

Unfortunately, it doesn't explain to the newcomer why this language is worth learning. I was expecting some kind of feature comparison or "Why another language?" article.

(That's a first impression. Then I read the comments here, and discovered it's based on PLT Scheme, which at least tell s me a little about what to expect.)

It's not just based on PLT Scheme, it is PLT Scheme, rebranded.
