This document discusses the Racket programming language, which originated from Lisp and Scheme. Racket aims to provide flexibility for creating domain-specific languages and running on any platform, with features including macros, modules, lexical closures, pattern matching, and tools for graphics, GUI, and web application development. Racket also includes a just-in-time compiler, garbage collector written in C, and IDE called DrRacket that supports multiple operating systems.
