Racket is a Scheme: Racket is still a dialect of Lisp and a descendant of Scheme. The tools developed by PLT will continue to support R5RS, R6RS, the old mzscheme environment, Typed Scheme, and more. At the same time, instead of having to say “PLT's main variant of Scheme,” programmers can now simply say “Racket” to refer to the specific descendant of Scheme that powers PLT's languages and libraries.

Indeed. Now name all the other Lisps and Schemes in wide use that are based on immutable data structures.
