Why Racket? Why Lisp?

I've been using Racket for a few years now as my main "fun" toy language and I can't stop using it or trying to come up with new ideas for it. I'm currently writing my new website's publishing code in Racket, using Racket programs to create my static pages.

For anyone who enjoys programming language dives, I recommend Racket fully. It's simple and powerful in various ways.

I'm wondering if combining Racket with AWS Lambda (https://github.com/kpiljoong/aws-lambda-racket) would be a good way to play with Racket and do cool things with it. I've done a bunch with Emacs Lisp but always felt weird writing a server application with elnode.
