What would be the best task to show off Racket's advantages intrinsic to

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...

Also, you can add your new tasks, which opens up another strategy for
advancing the Racket ranking.
Guidelines on new task creation:

I added my first last night

solution, shortly followed by a contributed Python approximation (so the
Pythonistas aren't totally lazy!) while still in draft.
