Racket is the canonical LISP (well, Scheme) to recommend to new users.

Yeah, as much as I love Common Lisp and prefer it to Scheme (despite learning Scheme first), the fact you can read the entirety of R7RS small in a single afternoon is, in my opinion, quite important in making the language approachable to beginners.

		If you wish, you can install a package to run R7RS small program in Racket. Just run in the commend line `raco pkg install r7rs` or search r7rs in the package manager inside DrRacket. It's not maintained by the core developers, but it pass all the test suit and if you ever find a bug and post an issue in github or in the discourse group, it will be fixed very soon. https://pkgs.racket-lang.org/package/r7rs https://github.com/lexi-lambda/racket-r7rs more info: https://github.com/lassik/racket-r7rs-example
