Neil, I wrote this paper _because_ academia perceives Racket as a cult. 
The reactions from academics has been nothing but great so far (tested 
locally) and I am hoping it will help my future students with entry into
academia, which I consider Racket's home base (not that there aren't
and shouldn't be others). 

The word in the title is a compromise. I would have preferred 'platform'
but my co-authors didn't find it 'groany' enough. I do not consider it
a mockery of anything. It simply says that this is the vision we have
had for Racket and that we will continue to work on.
