True, if we were talking about Data science, and you were bringing up Python or R or Julia, fair enough.

But if you're talking about Racket, I would want to know what you can do with it. Does it have a data science library? A web app framework?

Some task-language pairs work better than others, either because of the libraries or the language features or both.

Libraries make Python better than Lisp for machine learning. Language features make Haskell better than Python for formal verification.
