My most recent example is a prime sieve I wrote in Racket which was at least 10% faster than the Python implementation (can’t remember the exact number right now) I modeled it after, and then another 10% faster than that when I converted it to typed-racket[1]
For interactive development it’s true Racket isn’t as heavy into top level development as other lisps, but I often run my code and then play around with modifications to it in the repo afterwards using racket-mode in Emacs.
