A language with large standard library and tooling is awesome. But Racket still falls short on api wrappers for tools(message queues, zero mq, templates...) and services(payment gateways, google cloud or azure apis...). It's a chicken and egg problem. Unless a significant number of people start using it in production, Racket isn't going to have extensive libraries and unless it has the libraries to hit the ground running, a significant number of people won't try it.
