* One of my pet issues is that RC should not become just a catalog of programs meeting specific requirements; any given slice of RC (say, all examples in a language, or all completing a task) should be an ''educational'' resource. In particular, any new platform for RC should not restrict examples to 'one program, with commentary on the side'. Here is a task which I think exemplifies the right sort of thing: [[Pointers and references]]. <p>This is what we should aspire to. It has code, but it primarily ''tells you about the language''. I wrote [[Pointers and references#E]]; note that there are three individual programs, which are not merely different solutions to the same task: they are part of an overall discussion.
