I liked the scheme/gui example (although it should be changed to 
racket/gui). I think the world example should either go or be rewritten 
as a self-contained racket program (add the necessary require).

Slideshow might be another good hello-world variant:

   #lang slideshow
   (slide (t "Hello world!"))
   (slide (t "Well, good-bye."))

Another thing to consider is do we want complete programs (executable 
with racket or gracket, use #lang) or do we want repl-pasteable 
examples? Trying to paste a #lang-based example into a racket repl would 
probably frustrate a casual reader who says "sounds cool, let's try that 
example."
