Racket is often heralded as the "programming language programming language" and comes with tons of features to build full blown languages: https://racket-lang.org/

The most complete language/ecosystem that really showcases Racket's capabilities is Rosette IMO: https://github.com/emina/rosette/

Also worth noting that language that runs this very website was implemented in Racket.

I think it was implemented in PLT Scheme before it stopped being a Scheme implementation and became Racket.

Hacker News runs on a language that runs on Racket? Which language is that?

Arc Lisp[0]. This forum was concieved as a MVP for the language.

Anarki, a divergent open source fork, can be found here[1].

It is. Arc itself is written in Racket.

Ok, so pretty good proof that racket is a working programming language programming language then :-)
