Racket 7.4 now comes running on chez if you so wish. Check out [1]. In there there's also the links to the whys, hows and whats of the whole effort.
I've been using racket quite a lot lately, really like it. The thing I do not like about racket is the whole "racket 2" effort. Abandon S-exps? Really? To leave behind the 'popularity boundaries' of lisps? d'oh How about you drop your common USP that you share with the other lisps to become .. what, exactly.. irrelevant?
Cf. your 'dialect' point: In reality, the languages are just (supposed to be) DSLs for specific (sub-)problems of your problem-space. I don't mind, at all. You just require the libraries written in that other dialect from racket and use the stuff in there, et voila.
