[racket] Adding new Rosetta tasks
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...
