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

  • ...and many other tasks to improve

Matrix type

Complex type

Rational type

Calendar

Stream IO
