What would be the best task to show off Racket's advantages intrinsic to
the language and less to library support? It would have to somehow
abuse hygienic macros I suppose--some kind of task like embedding a DSL,
so what would be a good one? Maybe something with graphics to show off
functional composition of pictures--perhaps the task could be to
recreate IRL (imperative robot language)...the state machine with the
robot from the Haskell book The Haskell School of Expression. Other
ideas are welcome...

Also, you can add your new tasks, which opens up another strategy for
advancing the Racket ranking.
Guidelines on new task creation:

I added my first last night
--http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Deming%27s_Funnel -- together with a
Racket solution, shortly followed by a contributed Python
approximation (so the Pythonistas aren't totally lazy!) while still in
draft.
