Honestly a unique searchable name is better. I type in racket and results are mixed with tennis and I need to suffix "Language"

There is a naming tradition in the Lisp world, which Racket devs apparently have chosen over searchability.

I think it started with theorem provers - Planner, Conniver. Then Scheme[r].
