Well you can deploy the executable file to a server if it has the Racket runtime just like Python, Ruby etc. But there is a tool called `raco distribute` that will bundle the executable and the runtime into a folder that you can then distribute to anyone.

Raco distribute sounds nice, but not sure how it is any different than py2exe or similar tools.
Well if my experience with py2exe is anything to go by raco distribute actually works 100% of the time so that's a pretty enormous improvement. Though I must admit my experience with py2exe is not particularly extensive.
Deploying a racket program is super easy and reliable. Nothing I can say about Python and distributing a program.
