Also worth noting that language that runs this very website was implemented in Racket.

I think it was implemented in PLT Scheme before it stopped being a Scheme implementation and became Racket.
Hacker News runs on a language that runs on Racket? Which language is that?
Arc Lisp[0]. This forum was concieved as a MVP for the language.

Anarki, a divergent open source fork, can be found here[1].

I thought that was Arc?
It is. Arc itself is written in Racket.
Ok, so pretty good proof that racket is a working programming language programming language then :-)
