Would you find Racket koans helpful?

Hey all,

New to the language and community. Glad to meet you and am excited for
RacketCon this year!

I've been looking for koans* as a way to start practicing but could not
find any on Google, the mailing list archives, or on ranking Racket
resource pages. There are Google's lisp-koans, but they dig too far into CL
quirks to be helpful here.

So I am spending today implementing some
<https://github.com/zyrolasting/racket-koans> (Github:
zyrolasting/racket-koans) with the intent of loosely basing test execution
order after Flatt & Finder's guide. At time of writing the project is
nowhere even close to completion, but my intent is to use and extend the
project as a form of glorified note-taking during my own study and leave
something helpful behind.

But I need a reality check on how the culture works here: It seems like the
advice given to beginners is to jump into something real-world immediately.
I totally appreciate that, but I feel that small, isolated exercises can
give a runway to new contributors. Is there a reason why koans have either
not been developed or promoted up to now, or did I completely miss an
existing project that already does this?

** For those who haven't heard the term: Koans are tests intentionally
configured to fail so that users can fix them locally as a way to practice
using language features.*
