So... has anyone used this thing to build projects that go beyond small toy examples?

Speaking of, what are some good 'example projects' to test the overall sturdiness of a new language? I have currently no interest in writing one in Austral, but I'm always curious to hear how well modern language projects work out when used in production.

The programs in the Benchmark Game for example?

Good example projects to test new languages? I don’t know of any ready-made resources. It might be a good project to pick a few “new languages that took off and became popular languages” and study what projects they started with, then make examples out of those. Rust and Elixir come to mind. Maybe a web server is a good stress test of a language?
