How's this
Thanks for your extensive reply. I realized that I have based my
opinions on Racket 6.7 and we are living in 7.1-era, which makes some
(but not all) of my words a bit irrelevant (I was subscribed here for
all this time, but it just... skipped my attention somehow). I will
address few points below.
Tomas, thank you for your helpful comments. I just wanted to comment on
a couple side points right now.

I think it's not a bad idea, but I think you probably wouldn't use it
for general-purpose OOA, OOD, or OOP right now. For a long time, OO
overwhelmingly embraced

I always wanted to ask if the prototype object model is a good idea or bad idea?
The same question applies to Morphic User Interface Construction Environment -
good idea or bad idea?
Given neither idea seems to have caught on I’m assuming both are dead ends?
Kind regards,

I agree that it would be much better to write good blog posts about Racket.
They don't need to be fantastic, they don't need to be better than the
