Scheme was first proposed by Guy Lewis Steele Jr of Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the1970s, and then the PLT Scheme project was initiated by Felleison. Its main purpose is still as the enlightenment and teaching language of functional programming, so Racket is very suitable for learning as a learning language.
