I wish they had chosen a more "modern" name for the language.

What would be a modern name for a language?

Honestly a unique searchable name is better. I type in racket and results are mixed with tennis and I need to suffix "Language"

There is a naming tradition in the Lisp world, which Racket devs apparently have chosen over searchability.

Qualities or activities that have negative connotations. Guile. Gauche. Larceny. Racket.

I think it started with theorem provers - Planner, Conniver. Then Scheme[r].

		A funny thing was, when the rename to Racket was still fairly new, someone started looking into adopters in the finance space.

.NET/.NET Core/.NET Framework migration is painful because of this. VS/VSCode is sometimes only possible with AI’s help.
