That script undercounts Racket and over-counts Tcl.
It's been on my to do list to fix.

Compare:
http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:Tcl#mw-pages
http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:Racket#mw-pages

This is what I based my announcement on.

Which give Tcl 851 and Racket 850.

So it looks like game on, people!

 Something specifically tuned to macros?

 Actually, (on a cursory search) there are no Anaphoric tasks; and
 Lisp is always so full of itself with aif et al.

 I think, though that this goes against the spirit of Rosetta Code's
 mission:

 From the very top of http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Rosetta_Code:

 ... The idea is to present solutions to the same task in as many
 different languages as possible, to demonstrate how languages are
 similar and different, and to aid a person with a grounding in one
 approach to a problem in learning another.



Well, they include gems like:

http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Break_OO_privacy

Quoting:

Show how to access private or protected members of a class in an
object-oriented language from outside an instance of the class, without
calling non-private or non-protected members of the class as a proxy. The
intent is to show how a debugger, serializer, or other meta-programming
tool might access information that is barred by normal access methods to
the object but can nevertheless be accessed from within the language by
some provided escape hatch or reflection mechanism. The intent is
specifically not to demonstrate heroic measures such as peeking and poking
raw memory.

Note that cheating on your type system is almost universally regarded as
unidiomatic at best, and poor programming practice at worst. Nonetheless,
if your language intentionally maintains a double-standard for OO privacy,
here's where you can show it off.

 Folks,

 I've just done a quick burst of cherry picking tasks on Rosetta
 Code (www.rosettacode.org). I took a quick look at:
 * http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:Tcl
 and
 *  http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:Racket

 And they both have the line:
 The following 845 pages are in this category, out of 845 total. 

 I *think* that means that both Tcl and Racket have 845 tasks impemented,
 but short of walking down a printout with a pen (and it's far to late to
 be doing that) -- I do believe that Tcl and Racket are now jointly the
 most popular programming languages on Rosetta Code.

 WELL DONE AND THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS CONTRIBUTED (especially Racket)
 CODE ONTO ROSETTA CODE!

 And many, many thanks to the Racket team for producing a language which
 is now demonstrably as competent as any. (Although we all knew that before
 anyway, didn't we?)
