It bugs me a bit that SNOBOL4 -- and Icon, I suppose ;) -- is not one of 
the languages offered at <https://exercism.io/>.

"Level up your programming skills with 3,029 exercises across 50 
languages, and insightful discussion with our dedicated team of 
welcoming mentors. Exercism is 100% free forever."

There many languages represented even Delphi Pascal, Scheme and LISP. 
But no Icon/SNOBOL4! Starting and maintaining a language presence there 
isn't hard -- the infrastructure is well developed -- and the path of 
least resistance would be to adapt the existing tasks rather than 
generate new ones.

Just an idea. No pressure. But keeping Icon/SNOBOL4 going does mean 
introducing new people to it.
