@strong{Racket} is a full-spectrum programming language that inherits from Lisp
and Scheme but also provides dialects that support objects, types,
laziness, and more. Racket's module system allows
programmers to write and link together components written in different
dialects. Racket's libraries support applications from web servers to distributed
computing and from databases to charts.

@strong{Racket} is a full-spectrum programming language in the Lisp family.
It inherits many ideas from its direct parent, Scheme, and improves on it
in many mays, especially in its ability to mix and match existing and
project-specific dialects; the existence of a safe, typed dialect that
soundly interacts with the untyped one; a lazy dialect; and support for
many other common programming idioms. Racket's rich set of libraries
supports application development from web servers to distributed computing
and from databases to charts.}
