Racket has been used for a few serious Web applications for at least a 
couple years now, and the technology is even better now than when these 
people started.  I'm hoping that these deployments can be publicized better.

Eventually, some prominent startup or organization will publicize a huge 
success story with Racket.  Then there will be a sudden wealth of 
redundant "Teach Yourself Black Belt Racket 5.1 For Dummies In 21 Days 
Turbo Powered Lite" books.  You're arguably better off getting in on the 
ground floor now, when the people who are talking about Racket generally 
know what they are talking about. :)

Disclosure: I develop applications in Racket for a living.
