Great read. I’m a senior studying comp sci at University of Delaware, and I couldn’t agree more! We learned Racket freshmen year - and I can confidently say that Racket had no perceivable advantage to my computer science education over any other language. In fact, the course introduced python towards the end of the semester which made it more of a headache since we had to take a final exam in both syntaxes. It would’ve been better to have used python from the start.
