The early project combined programming-language research with education: DrScheme, later DrRacket, provided an environment for teaching Scheme-style programming, while the language accumulated modules, classes, macros, contracts, and tooling for larger programs. ### Project history The 2010 rename from PLT Scheme to Racket marked a deliberate move away from being described only as a Scheme implementation. The Racket project's own rename note says Racket remains a Lisp dialect and descendant of Scheme, but the new name better fit a language and toolchain aimed at language-oriented programming. The transition also renamed DrScheme to DrRacket, made racket the main command name, and shifted the preferred module language from #lang scheme to #lang racket while preserving compatibility. ### How it is used Racket's ecosystem role is unusually meta: it is a practical language runtime, a teaching environment, and a platform for creating new languages. Academic accounts of Racket emphasize its macro system and its support for composing domain-specific languages. The minimal-racket package is the smaller Homebrew distribution for users who want the command-line runtime and raco tooling without the full batteries-included bundle; it still exposes the core package-management and build workflow used by Racket programmers. ### Sources -
