A sentence like that would be a good replacement for the awful,
"Racket is a programming language" currently on the front page of
racket-lang.org   Perhaps something like "Racket is a new language
that borrows the best parts of Scheme, Java, and other languages and
extends them with advanced features such as contracts, types,
user-defined languages, a complete GUI framework and other modern
features."
