I work on examples in E, Common Lisp, Haskell, TI-89 BASIC, gnuplot, SVG, and occasionally other languages.
Tasks I created
- Atomic updates
- Distributed program
- Eval
- Eval in environment
- N distinct objects
- Optional parameters
- Stem-and-leaf plot
Task classifications
I maintained classifications of unimplemented tasks for the following languages:
I haven't updated them since ImplSearchBot got replaced with MultiCategorySearch, pending figuring out a better way to figure out what to update in them than checking the page changes ISB made. —Kevin Reid 00:43, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
- /E contrasts is a page listing tasks that have been completed in some other languages but not in E.

- One of my pet issues is that RC should not become just a catalog of programs meeting specific requirements; any given slice of RC (say, all examples in a language, or all completing a task) should be an educational resource. In particular, any new platform for RC should not restrict examples to 'one program, with commentary on the side'. Here is a task which I think exemplifies the right sort of thing: Pointers and references.
This is what we should aspire to. It has code, but it primarily tells you about the language. I wrote Pointers and references#E; note that there are three individual programs, which are not merely different solutions to the same task: they are part of an overall discussion.
