Explanation of Solution
Single language for all
Even though the idea of one programming language for all the programming domains is not very popular and not even much supported but it has some benefits too.
- As we know that currently for different domains there exist specialized programming languages.
- Also there are many different domains where programming comes in handy. So, a programmer who learns language specialized for one domain cannot easily shift from one domain to other domain.
- As, for moving to any other domain, he/she will have to first learn the language used specifically for programming in that domain. So, it basically restricts programmers to work in very limited domains...

Racket is a general-purpose, multi-paradigm PL based on the Scheme dialect of Lisp. It is known as a language-oriented programming language and frequently used by various institutions for PL design and implementation. It is also used for scripting, Computer Science education and research purposes. Racket is a great PL used for Programming language theory (PLT) which deals with the design, implementation, analysis, characterization, and classification of programming languages and of their individual features. details, visit: https://racket-lang.org/.
