  13. hi,
  14.    I am involved in assessing a language. Does anyone know of a standard
  15. set of problems that I could use to judge the languages compabilities?
  16.    Can anyone think of a problem that represents a real need in a language?
  17. For example, we have tested it for the eight queens problem to show that 
  18. it can do state space searches. We have also made sure it can generate the 
  19. Fibonacci numbers. Can you think of any other well known problems?
  20.    What things do you expect to be able to write relatively simply using any
  21. language? I would like to here from people working in all areas. 
  22.
