The only caveat I want to inject is to not blame Racket too strongly. Clamp showed me that I don't know enough CL to make a good Arc in it. By the same token, Pauan's https://github.com/arclanguage/arc-nu showed me how much better Arc-on-Racket can be. Racket is pretty mature, but the default Arc implementation hasn't moved much from the days of mzscheme.
Sure, obviously Racket is a great language, specially for teaching. Though, I don't find it is in the same greatness category as C and python (and some others like Ruby, Rust and Go). Those are the hacker languages. I would like to see a lisp actually in this category.
