- 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.
