Racket is very easy to get going with, you just install it and use the IDE, which gives you the text editor/code area and REPL together like emacs/slime. Scheme is a smaller language. For example, there is no flet/labels, you just use (define) for nested functions. It's a good way to get going with a Lisp and see if you want to take on a heavier language like CL or Clojure.

Isn't letrec (Scheme) and labels (CL) used for the same purpose?
