- Praise: Rhombus' syntax is a breath of fresh air, shedding the cumbersome parentheses of Racket while retaining its powerful capabilities — a dream for many Racketeers.
- Praise: The rapid development of Rhombus hints at an exciting future, potentially expanding the programming landscape and showcasing Racket's strengths in language creation.
- Concern: Despite its cool features, many users still prefer Python's simplicity and find it hard to connect with Racket or Rhombus, suggesting a steep uphill battle for adoption.
- Concern: The name 'Rhombus' feels outdated and lacks the modern flair that could help it stand out in a crowded programming landscape.
