   I would like to disagree with this view of Racket. I'm a fairly experienced professional programmer with a lot of systems experience, and I find Racket an extremely well thought out, competently implemented and high performance (particularly with the switch to Chez Scheme) language. I wrote a bit about it at https://nikhilism.com/post/2023/racket-beyond-languages/ and Bogdan Popa and Alex Hirsanyi have done amazing…

   I am curious to know what you find limiting about the Racket GUI. There have been some interesting[1] things[2] being developed with it recently. I have been able to use it to write a stock trading simulator[3] with price charts. [1] https://alex-hhh.github.io/2018/06/a-racket-gui-widget-to-di...

   Have you seen this package yet? http://alex-hhh.github.io/2018/08/racket-data-frame-package.... I think it could be the starting point for some data science work in Racket.

   I was/am in the same boat. A few months back someone recommended this blog to me: https://alex-hhh.github.io/ If you want to see some "real world" high quality Racket GUI stuff this is the place to go. Very inspiring. I'd love to do more with Racket & its GUI lib.

   Thanks. Personally, I'd love to see more like https://alex-hhh.github.io/2021/08/fish-puzzle.html When I was in university, the usual Prolog example was solving a game of Cluedo.

    To add to this, OP, there is an interesting blog with many examples of graphics development in Racket: https://alex-hhh.github.io/ I have written a couple GUI applications in Racket; maybe they can serve as motivation to discover Racket's GUI capabilities: https://github.com/evdubs/chart-simulator https://github.com/evdubs/renegade-way There are limitations to Racket's GUI toolkit compared to writing a native Qt/GTK…

    Don't dismiss Racket too soon, I would say. The developer of ActivityLog2 has been doing a lot to integrate charts and graphs into Racket GUI applications, and the program itself ( https://github.com/alex-hhh/ActivityLog2 ) is a good showcase of that work. His blog is also worth a read ( https://alex-hhh.github.io/index.html ). Take a look!
