Yes, I scroll down the page and I see pictures and a simple picture 
language, and it seems to be using them to introduce some pretty simple 
and familiar concepts, so I assume it's for children.

Processing is considerably cooler, in a hipster-designer way, than 
Racket.  Processing has street cred before people ever see a tutorial.  
Cool kids start from a very different position than us nerds, and even 
if they shouted, "Look at my circles, pledge dog, look at them!", people 
would lap it up.  And the Processing circles probably would be cool circles.
