Thanks for this. I have a system with a React front-end and a Racket back-end using an API only, no HTML delivery. Would Rackt be useful for this?

Yes of course. Racketscript is a "compile to javascript" language so you would start using it just as you would do with say TypeScript. Write your components in Racketscript, compile them to javascript and the serve them up the usual way. No server side Racket involved now.

The RacketScript playground is written in RacketScript.

I believe this is the front end, but I believe it uses jquery not react.
