Racket is a very popular scheme based language. Its main idea is Language Oriented Programming: https://beautifulracket.com/appendix/why-lop-why-racket.html

It is very popular in programming languages communities, and as a teaching language.

Agreed! Racket is an important emerging language. It is used in a surprising number of spaces outside academia, and is highly influential.

Racket is considered by many one of the most "batteries-included" Scheme out there. The standard library features a web-server, a GUI programming interface, a graphics engine... Adding to that the 1300 community libraries on https://pkgs.racket-lang.org/
