Very limited, but unsurprising that they get a correlation. Github
uses file suffixes to determine language, so *.scm and *.ss are all
counted towards scheme -- *.rkt files are still very new. On
stackoverflow, there were practically no "racket" tags, and one night
I made a scan of "plt-scheme" and "drscheme" and added "racket" -- but
my guess is that scheme is popular there due to student questions
which are almost always on racket (for example, people ask about a
"#<void>" value etc).
