LispPad Go is a similar tool focusing on scheme R7RS. It’s been great for writing little scripts. Been using it for a few years now. Racket would be compelling though because of the number of libraries.

I was surprised to be able to install packages from the Racket package server. The search is case sensitive (be sure to use all lowercase instead of the default first capital letter) and the install can take a while, but it works!

This looks good. I had recently removed all Apple dev tools from my Macs - decided I didn’t want to spend my time any longer supporting a platform that requires submitting personal use apps to the Apple Store just to make them persistent (not time out).

For Ruckus, I will reinstall Xcode, etc.

Other people have mentioned LispPad that is very good.

Wish: include a REPL, not only the editor.

Here's Pixie Scheme, which is an interesting implementation for the iPad:
