Wow Chris, that's great! And quite a lot of work! I've added a link to it from 
our wiki. (The link is currently on the main page but will probably get moved.)

So now that you've done this much, I'm wondering. How well did E do? Did 
anything stand out as surprisingly pleasant or annoying? Are there any 
particular lessons you think E should learn from some of the other languages 
there? Thanks.

Btw, I'm curious why the examples for some languages, like Alice or OCaml, 
just show expressions, while others, like E and Python, explicitly ask that 
the values of the expressions be printed?
