Racket is an amazing language for prototyping ideas that you don't understand yet.

At $dayjob I'm using it to test what novel geometries of deep learning models would look like. Being able to redefine any part of the stack for any reason is a superpower you don't know you need until you do.

A great place to start is the little learner which holds your hand until you get opinionated about what the underlying primitives should look like. E.g. what if we used sparse tensor representation?

		Racket is used across CS programs that have adopted the How to Design Programs book [1] (some schools do not use the original book, just the textbook for source material). [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Design_Programs

Racket is my favorite language, unfortunately I still use python the most mainly because of the ecosystem. https://xkcd.com/353/
