Little necrobump here, I did find exercism recently in my efforts of getting up to speed on racket, in addition to the racket-koans <https://github.com/zyrolasting/racket-koans> collection on github, which is great! The idea of having real people give you feedback on the code is awesome. That said, with the racket track there are only 2 mentors and this impacts the pace at which you can proceed, a simple little exercise may sit for a couple weeks before someone takes a look. Looks like they need some more racket mentors over there ; ).
Even with the slow pace I still recommend it to anyone wanting to take a look at learning a new language, having real people give you feedback is great compared to just a unit test passing.
