I was also dismayed to find out that rather than being a mainstream post about my favorite little scheme... I'm greeted by an esoteric language of the same name.

It looks fantastic, just the kind of thing I'm looking for - I know Racket rather than Scheme, though, how different are the two languages?

I read quite a good interview with Chicken Scheme's author a few months ago. Here's the link which might be of interest:

It depends on how you use Racket, since it is actually a family of languages, but if you use R5RS I would say it should be really easy to port apps between them. And the community is great so I don't think you would have problem picking it up

Why would you call it "esoteric"? Eh, programmers these days.
