Besides, I'm not interested in problems that fit a language well. I'm interested in problems that *don't* fit the language well. That's the test. You don't always know the form of the solution to a problem a priori.
I seem to have a habit of doing this, such as trying to write backup utilities in Lisp or weird things like that. The main problem I'm having with lisp is that the implementations seem to be fairly lazy about keeping bindings to C libraries working. Common lisp defines a DIRECTORY function to iterate a directory, but it is required to be worthless for what I want, since it has to resolve symlinks.
