This is no criterion, but it is suggestive:
http://www.google.com/insights/search/#cat=5&q=racket%20-%20tennis%2Cclojure&date=1%2F2008%2040m&cmpt=q

But to be fair, popularity is a terrible metric:

This page shows the relative popularity of `DrScheme' to `Racket'.

It appears that `Racket' has only recently overtaken `DrScheme' in
what people search for.
