'''Racket''' is a [[General-purpose programming language|general-purpose]], [[multi-paradigm programming language]] and a multi-platform distribution that includes the Racket language, [[compiler]], large standard [[Library (computing)|library]], [[integrated development environment|IDE]] (IDE), development tools, and a set of additional languages including Typed Racket (a sister language of Racket with a static type-checker), Swindle, FrTime, Lazy Racket, R5RS & R6RS [[Scheme (programming language)|Scheme]], Scribble, Datalog, Racklog, [[Algol 60]] and several teaching languages.

The Racket language is a modern dialect of [[Lisp (programming language)|Lisp]] and a descendant of [[Scheme (programming language)|Scheme]]. It is designed as a platform for [[programming language theory|programming language design]] and implementation.<ref name="manifesto">{{cite journal |last1=Felleisen |first1=M. |last2=Findler |first2=R.B. |last3=Flatt |first3=M. |last4=Krishnamurthi |first4=S. |last5=Barzilay |first5=E. |last6=McCarthy |first6=J. |last7=Tobin-Hochstadt |first7=S. |title=The Racket Manifesto |journal=Proceedings of the First Summit on Advances in Programming Languages |date=2015 |pages=113–128 |url=https://www2.ccs.neu.edu/racket/pubs/manifesto.pdf}}</ref> In addition to the core Racket language, ''Racket'' is also used to refer to the family of programming languages<ref>{{cite web |title=Dialects of Racket and Scheme |url=http://docs.racket-lang.org/guide/dialects.html |access-date=2011-08-15}}</ref> and set of tools supporting development on and with Racket.<ref>{{cite web |title=Welcome to Racket |url=http://docs.racket-lang.org/guide/intro.html|access-date=2019-05-15}}</ref> Racket is also used for [[script (computing)|scripting]], [[computer science]] education, and research.
