Matthew Flatt's keynote at RacketCon ended in a pretty, well... I guess troubling way to me. (Though, I knew it was coming because we discussed it last night.) There's discussion of the underlying main language moving to a non-lispy syntax. One that still supports macros and etc etc, but there's a fear that parentheses aren't as popular so we should shift (#lang racket will remain available, though).

I fear it's a big pivot, and might lose a lot. I've seen such pivots go badly before.
