I'm just wondering what some of the canonical problem sets are for certain types of languages?

ie. Fill in the blanks:

__ is the perfect language to use for solving __.

The question was arrived at reading or hearing people say statements like such and such module in our codebase would be much easier to implement using a functional language.

Fee free to include examples that would seem obvious to you.
