The examples subcollection contains several small languages 
to demonstrate various different uses of PLT Redex:

  arithmetic.rkt: an arithmetic language with every
  possible order of evaluation

  beginner.rkt: a PLT Redex implementation of (much of) the
  beginning student teaching language.

  cbn-letrec.rkt: the definition of evaluation contexts in Ariola and
  Felleisen's call-by-need letrec calculus

  church.rkt: Church numerals with call by name
  normal order evaluation

  combinators.rkt: fills in the gaps in a proof in
  Barendregt that i and j (defined in the file) are
  a combinator basis

  compatible-closure.rkt: an example use of compatible
  closure. Also, one of the first examples from Matthias
  Felleisen and Matthew Flatt's monograph

  cont-mark-transform/: the continuation mark transformation from
  McCarthy's ICFP '09 paper “Automatically RESTful Web Applications
  Or, Marking Modular Serializable Continuations" 

  contracts.rkt: A core contract calculus, including blame, 
  with function contracts, (eager) pair contracts, 
  and a few numeric predicates

  define-judgment-form: example uses of `define-judgment-form'

  delim-cont/: The model from Flatt, Yu, Findler, and Felleisen's ICFP
  '07 paper "Adding Delimited and Composable Control to a Production
  Programming Environment"
  
  lazy.rkt: big step semantics for lazy evaluation by Launchbury, POPL'93

  let-poly.rkt: lambda calculus with list constants, let-polymorphism
  and type inference

  letrec.rkt: shows how to model letrec with a store and
  some infinite looping terms

  list-machine/: the List Machine benchmark by Appel, Dockins, and
  Leroy.

  omega.rkt: the call by value lambda calculus with call/cc.
  Includes omega and two call/cc-based infinite loops, one of
  which has an ever-expanding term size and one of which has
  a bounded term size.

  pi-calculus.rkt: a formulation of the pi calculus, following
  Milner's 1990 paper, "Functions as Processes"

  poly-stlc.rkt: a polymorphic lambda calculus with list constants

  racket-machine/: an operational semantics for (much of) Racket
  bytecode

  r6rs/: an implementation of the R6RS Scheme formal semantics

  semaphores.rkt: a simple threaded language with semaphores

  stlc.rkt: a semantics for a typed CBV language with multi-argument
  functions, conditionals, and addition

  stlc+lists.rkt: simply typed lambda calculus with list and 
  number types

  stlc+lists+subst.rkt: identical to stlc+lists.rkt except that
  capture avoiding substitution is defined explicitly 

  subject-reduction.rkt: demos traces/pred that type checks
  the term.

  threads.rkt: shows how non-deterministic choice can be
  modeled in a reduction semantics. Contains an example use
  of a simple alternative pretty printer.

  types.rkt: shows how the simply-typed lambda calculus's
  type system can be written as a rewritten system (see
  Kuan, MacQueen, Findler in ESOP 2007 for more).
