I've been reading about how Racket is used for academic research, but I'm having a problem finding commercial success stories in business and/or start ups. Is anyone having any success using Racket commercially or am I barking up the wrong tree? I ask because I've got an idea for a start up and am evaluating languages and tools at the moment.

    There are a number of them, you should look at the mailing list archives where the subject comes up from time to time. (Here's a [random quick link](http://www.gameenginebook.com/gdc09-statescripting-uncharted2.pdf) for a (large) pdf file from Naughty Dog which was mentioned on [ycombinator](http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2201964) (which is also using racket, btw).) – Eli Barzilay Mar 07 '11 at 09:39

Several companies are using Racket commercially. One significant example is Untyped, which built their scheduling/workflow tracker system Kahu in Racket, and also uses it for other projects.

We are using mzscheme commercially. Mzscheme is power R5RS implementation from plt (racket).
