hi,
I am involved in assessing a language. Does anyone know of a standard
set of problems that I could use to judge the languages compabilities?
Can anyone think of a problem that represents a real need in a language?
For example, we have tested it for the eight queens problem to show that
it can do state space searches. We have also made sure it can generate the
Fibonacci numbers. Can you think of any other well known problems?
What things do you expect to be able to write relatively simply using any
language? I would like to here from people working in all areas.

^^^^
I would like to see spell checkers that know what they are doing.
But I guess the limitation is in human talent rather than in program
language structure or logic. Sigh...
