I also think that language oriented programming like in Racket is overrated. As a Lisp programmer I'm happy to have different paradigms integrated into one language, and not have them added as 'languages'. For some amount of languages it makes sense, but generally it's more like an academic exercise and makes the whole machinery more complicated - which for many use cases is not needed. Working on a hosted platform with deep integration into the host language environment was during the last years preferred by a lot more users - that's more compatible and reusable (since more reusable libraries work).
