I tried this, but it doesn't have basic CLI tooling like an autoformatter or an LSP, which are very useful when getting started in a language.

Hm. I learned programming in large parts thanks to The Little Schemer, SICP and Scheme/Racket. LSP wasn’t a thing then and it worked fine anyway. Much of the code I wrote (and evaluated manually) was on paper.

Regarding the autoformatter... Not sure if Racket really needs that since the syntax is so simple. But maybe it would be an improvement.
