The project is looking for a new owner
Due to numerous other engagement I am unable to continue maintaining the project and therefore looking for a new owner. I will try to fix the current issues mostly due to bitrot and after that the project will officially be discontinued until someone is willing take over.
Hey! I was wondering if you'd be interested in moving some of your collection to a more generic repo. I'm currently maintaining Sample Programs in Every Language. As the name suggests, we're collecting code snippets in every language.
Sure, you're welcome to use the code here. Unfortunately I did not add a license when I created this repo but I doubt any contributor would mind having their piece of code in your collection.
I have to point out though that these programs are optimized for speed and may not be the best examples of how to program in X language.
Sounds great! I'll keep that in mind going forward. Also, I'll try to find a way to share credit anyhow. I wouldn't want anyone to steal anyone's work!
:wave: I'd be happy to take on this project. It's a really interesting and pratical approach to language comparison!
That's great to hear. How should we approach this? Update all solutions or just the framework?
However you'd like is just fine with me. Transfer repo ownership, grant me commit access to this repo still under your account, put it into some org, etc.
I think the best would be to continue in another repository. Either a fork or something else under your account. I could archive this one and point to the new one in the README.
But my main question is about your plans with the current solutions?
Me starting a fork sounds entirely reasonable.
I've only looked at a few solutions so far but my assumption was to go through them and flag any that aren't working as-is and go down the list to get them going again. At the very least the data scripts need to be updated to use working urls.
I think it might be nice to also have a docker setup per solution in addition to the comprehensive one.
I also like the idea to allow multiple solutions per language eg simple vs optimized.
Let's go with a fork then. What should we do about the open issues and PRs?
