My question was if it was okay. I mean, it's technically LISP, so I was wondering if it was good enough.

Racket is wonderful and should be used more.
You'll need to be more specific for ``good enough''.

Thanks OP. I'll see what I can do. I hate that your campus uses PHP and Microsoft EVERYWHERE.

Also, never underestimate the power of the internet. Hehehehe, or google for that matter. She is 2.

racket is SICP compatible, i'd say go for it but don't use it for anything after you're done with the course. learn some go on the sly (check the phrasebook).
