The Need for Simple Presence on RosettaCode

Open appcypher opened this issue 7 years ago • 6 comments

RosettaCode is a repository where codes implementing tasks in different languages are stored. Simple has no presence there yet. So I think we should fix that.

I already created a SimpleLang category since Simple isn't available as category. Nothing is there yet. Anyone can signup to the site and contribute to it.

An example of a tool that uses codes on rosetta is http://rosetta.alhur.es/. It allows you to compare codes in different languages. An example of this is http://rosetta.alhur.es/compare/python/java

This will allow programmers from other languages get a feel of what idiomatic Simple code looks like compared to a language they are used to.

Thanks for this @appcypher. I'll look into it and see what I can do. Thx.

We ought to have snippets on RosettaCode but the absence is intentional since the simple-lang is currently in it infantry and there might be changes along the way such as minor changes to keyword and structure. Documentation on public domains such as wikis, snippets site is currently paused till a satisfactory release is met. Therefore we can hold on for now till we have our very structure and syntax stable release

The issue is better kept open so we are reminded when we see it

I think snippets would be released once we hit the version 0.4. well have a well structured syntax and algorithmic methods

The simple version 0.4.0 has been released now Documentation on public domains such as wikis, snippets site can be made to increase awareness of the project
