Some time ago, the following question was asked: GolfScript, CJam, or Pyth?
Based on the title only, I thought that it would be a very nice challenge, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a question asking for tips.
Here is the challenge I wanted to read:

FYI that challenge is really cool, if anyone ever makes an answer to it that actually uses Bayesian statistics or something and isn't like Mego's smart-ass answer I will shower that thing in bounties
One aspect of password strength testing is runs of adjacent letters on the keyboard. In this challenge, a program must be created that returns true if a string contains any runs of adjacent letters.
What counts as a run of adjacent letters?
For this simplified version of a password strength tes...
Cops and Robbers - Find the Formula
Cops will write a function that takes numerical inputs and produces numerical outputs (note - outputs can be any base and may contain letters). They will post the language, the number of bytes it takes to write the code (up to 128), rounded up to the nearest p...

Title Keywords in Context
This challenge is based on a problem described in D. Parnas, On the criteria to be used in decomposing systems into modules, and elaborated upon in J. Morris, Real Programming in Functional Languages.
Write a program or function which takes a list of book titles from s...
> (The value of an immutable container object that contains a reference to a mutable object can change when the latter’s value is changed; however the container is still considered immutable, because the collection of objects it contains cannot be changed. So, immutability is not strictly the same as having an unchangeable value, it is more subtle.)
Okay. Reading through the Python docs is starting to convince me that I should just write my next language in Python (or C#) and then use something like Cython to compile it to C code so it runs faster.
@feersum I might be thinking of something else, but there's a tool that helps you turn Python code into C. I've only tried to use it once, for the sturdy squares thing, and it didn't work out very well. I think it might've been in part because I imported itertools for permutations...
@Maltysen This looks like it might be very useful.
