Racket? Which?

Been reading "Racket Programming the Fun Way: From Strings to Turing Machines", by by James W. Stelly, but it isn't fun.

Wanted to find out what this whole Lisp family of languages is about. Maybe get into functional programming. Get earnest. Get different. Get more real.

So far it's been a bunch of confusing syntax that looks unnecessarily, complicatedly fussy.

Wondering if it's going to be worth it. Maybe I'll end up learning a little Emacs Lisp, enough so that I can diddle my emacs setup as needed, when needed, and go on to Python. Just join the mainstream.
