Funny story: That's how I cam back to Racket/Scheme. Several years ago I
worked on a web application written in Common Lisp. I needed some
"electronic duct tape" work done. I didn't use Common Lisp because of
its slow startup time and I was unhappy with shell scripts either.
Therefore I remembered that there was PLT Scheme/Racket around with
"batteries included". So nowadays lot of these tasks are now done using
Racket.
