Revision as of 23:58, 26 July 2009

This is Kevin Reid's classification of tasks not implemented in E, or just poorly done in E, by what kind of problem they are, or what kind of library/language work should come first.

As of 16:52, 26 July 2009. When updating this list, consult the diffs since then for what to add/remove.

Should go ahead and do

Algorithmic

GUI

Reflective

Graphics

Using Basic bitmap storage

Mathematics
