[racket] Dr. Racket for iOS

I'm not aware of anyone having done any work getting Racket to run on iOS.
 If you are really interested in the general idea, though, there are some
other Lisps/Schemes that folks have gotten to run on that platform.
 Notably, I came across an article about developing a game for iOS using
Gambit Scheme recently:

I think they took the approach of compiling the (written in c) Scheme
compiler / interpreter to target iOS.  Not sure how big of an undertaking
it would be to do something similar with Racket (I'd assume not small).
